It deals with Hempel{\textquoteright}s interpretations of Nicod{\textquoteright}s criterion of confirmation as well as with its inadmissible consequences. I, subsequently, suggest an epistemological and semantic specification of empirical properties, i.e., of their identity; then I formulate a criterion of the test of properties expressed by empirical hypothesis. Finally, I propose a procedural conception of confirmation by means of the testing procedure schema. The confirmation is, therefore, conceived as an attribute which can be ascribed to a hypothesis through the process of its testing. The methods of testing are central to the hypothesis{\textquoteright}s qualifica-tion as confirmed.}, url = {http://www.klemens.sav.sk/fiusav/doc/organon/2011/2/213-225.pdf}, author = {Bielik, Luk{\'a}{\v s}} }
