It was tested on 643 technical parameters. With such complex machines, there is no A is better than B type of conclusion (in most cases). The MKI is better in some respects, the Raffy is better in other respects. The MKI can carry more load and fly farther, and carry a more powerful (doesn't necessarily always mean better) radar. The Rafale has a much lower RCS, has much more modern technology including composites and engine tech, and is much cheaper to operate.

If one aircraft was hands down better than the other, we wouldn't induct both types. Anyway the MKI comes from an older lineage than the Raffy. But it is much bigger and much more powerful. There are literally 600+ parameters to compare.
