Crossword Genius

Testing toy Turing designed (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trying out

'testing' is the definition.
('try out' can be a synonym of 'test')

'toy turing designed' is the wordplay.
'designed' indicates an anagram (designed with the letters).
'toy'+'turing'='toyturing'
'toyturing' with letters rearranged gives 'TRYING OUT'.

(Other definitions for trying out that I've seen before include "Experimenting with" , "sampling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
