The Black Caps and the West Indies will get their first opportunity to appeal against an umpiring decision when the two sides meet in Dunedin next week.
The International Cricket Council trialled an umpire review system for the first time during the Sri Lanka-India series in Sri Lanka earlier this year.
The challenge system allows players to refer decisions made by on-field umpires on whether or not a batsman has been dismissed, with the exception of timed out, to the third umpire.
The television official will review the coverage and relay information to the on-field umpire for a final decision.
New Zealand Cricket umpires manager Rodger McHarg said the test series between the Black Caps and the West Indies will be the second in a series of trials in which eight of 10 test nations will play under the experimental rule.
`The ICC will assess the experimental rule once the nations have provided their feedback.
"I can say that earlier indications are very positive in terms of improving the overall correct percentage of decision-making rate. Umpiring is all about getting as close to 100% as possible. Human frailty tells us that is probably not achievable."
With the aid of technology, the worst umpiring decisions should be eliminated under the challenge system, he said.
English umpire Mark Benson will be the third umpire and in the hot seat, with experienced South African umpire Rudi Koertzen and debutant Indian umpire Amish Saheba making the final calls from the middle.
Koertzen has officiated in 96 tests.
The West Indies will play a first-class fixture against Auckland starting on Friday, and arrive in Dunedin on Monday.
