Also means
as an experiment, provisionally
Usage Note
probeweise signals that an action is carried out in a provisional, test-run manner — the outcome is not yet committed to. Common in job and product contexts: probeweise anstellen (hire on a trial basis), probeweise einführen (introduce on a pilot basis). More concrete than vorläufig (which stresses temporariness).
Examples
"Die neue Software wird probeweise in drei Abteilungen eingesetzt."
Natural Translation
The new software is being piloted in three departments.
Literal Translation
The new software is on-a-trial-basis in three departments deployed.
