1. A product testing assembly, comprising:

  • a panel configured to support at least one of a substrate and a test subject having at least one surface configured to receive an application of a product to be tested; and

    at least one measuring device configured to sense measured quantities as product is applied to the at least one of the substrate and the test subject and output one or more signals representative of a sequence of forces and/or moments being applied to the surface by the application of the product to be tested;

    at least one data processing system having an interface device coupled to the at least one measuring device via a wired or a wireless communication link, and one or more processors configured to receive the one or more signals representative of the sequence of forces and/or moments being applied to the surface via the interface device, and to convert the one or more signals into an output signal representative of one or more quantitative application performance characteristics of the product to be tested; and

    wherein the one or more quantitative application performance characteristics are correlated with calibration data collected during application of one or more calibration products that had been determined by a human to meet or exceed subjectively determined expectations related to the way the application of the calibration product felt to the human as the calibration product was applied.
