Charge for altering test run (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entrust

'charge' is the definition.
(as in entrusting or charging someone with a task)

'altering test run' is the wordplay.
'altering' indicates an anagram.
'test'+'run'='testrun'
'testrun' with letters rearranged gives 'ENTRUST'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for entrust that I've seen before include "Commend" , "Confide" , "Put something into another's care" , "Assign (a responsibility to someone)" , "Invest, commit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
