The program running time ON/FOR this test is 1s.

Hey!

Could you please tell me which out of two prepositions I can use in the following sentence:

"The program running time ON/FOR this test is 1s."

Thanks!

Hi, There are various prepositions that could be used here (eg on/for/of), and technical people often have special jargon-like expressions they favour. So, both are OK. But if I had to choose, I'd prefer 'for'.
