With all the suggestions here, (using jumpers, test leads, etc...) I think the question of practicle test is being lost.
If the test button is not sufficient for the AHJ, yet the NEC allows this installation, we have a problem.
If we use special means (anything that would not be present under normal conditions) to test the device, we are in no way simulating a real incident. So what good would this be?
