A media test, also known as a critique test, is a means by which reviewers of media works may test the relevance or utility of a film or other narrative work. Many of the tests here are meant to critique the prevalence or bias of writers to standard tropes involving suspect classes of society, such as gender, skin color, ablement or sexual orientation. In the case of feminist media tests, the goal is to evaluate perceived imbalances in the depiction of women and gender relations in both fiction and nonfiction creative works.

In the case of feminist media tests, the goal is to evaluate perceived imbalances in the depiction of women and gender relations in both fiction and nonfiction creative works. A variety of media tests have been developed among media critics and culture bloggers in the 2000s and 2010s, although the earliest media test, the Bechdel/Wallace, emanated from a mid-1980s comic strip.
