Abstract: The quasi-impossibility of predictability in the social field makes scientific assumptions (or outcomes) subject to factual testing (Popper's falsifiability). In this context, the study examines the possibility of developing a second-order testability, i.e., testability of the testability. For this purpose, the general coordinates of a procedural test to test the factual (primary) test are developed. The study uses a methodology of logical and conceptual analysis, finally providing a methodological algorithm on the concept of procedural testing with direct application to social justice. Associated with this result is the proposal to classify the social factuals in: a) empirical factuals; b) methodological factuals. The usefulness of the study relates to "saving" testability in the social field (including the economic field) by switching from factual falsification to procedural one.
