If all it does it to apply a 10 mA ground fault, then you are not testing the AFCI. All you are testing is the ground fault part of the AFCI. Also most of the things that I have read about AFCIs say that the ground fault trip setting is 30 to 50 mA.
If the test button on the AFCI works, the AFCI is OK.
