Explanation:
Evaluation may serve two, complementary functions. In one context, the aim is prospective, or formative -- to improve, to understand strengths in order to amplify them, or to isolate weaknesses to mend. The other context is retrospective, or summative -- to assess concrete achievement, perhaps as part of a process of acknowledgement or giving awards. Here are some ways to think about the distinction further...

Ideally, the two modes are complementary. Also, as noted in the table above, the process of formative evaluation may be an important component in summative evaluation

The explanation is perfect. If only you could give proper Russian wording!.. I'm at the end of a 90,000 words project completed within 10 days and my brain is virtually boiling. Will probably give a descriptive translation in the target text.
Thank you!

Explanation:
formative testing = тестирование/тест на общее развитие/общих способностей

summative testing= тестирование/тест на творческие способности

Как-то так, судя по моим источника. Уверен. что вы на русском сформулируете поэлегантней.
