ball-beraing drop test
I believe this is the official terminology, though it gets worryingly few Googgle hits, so yu might need to do furtehr research.

Apologies for the typo above: that should of course read 'ball-bearing' — though as JLSJR has kindly pointed out, the correct terminology is in fact 'drop ball test'

However, I do feel it is important to at least avoid typos in headword answers, since these may find their way into the glossary, where of course they might cause havoc for future users. When I spotted the error, I had intended to hide this answer and re-post, but unfortunately, the contributors below had already kindly added their peer comments, so I was unable to do so.
