Can you give us an example of what it is you were hoping to "test"?
Unless you were to use external instrumentation (meter, oscilliscope, etc) there isn't much the PBASIC Stamp can test on the Board of Education itself, if that was your goal.
I would like to test that the board is working perfectly. Thanks, I think I found out a way already. I use a LED and programmed it to blink at each pin. If it fails to blink, I conclude that the board is defective.
To further what Bruce said, that only verifies one side of the output drive (high/low) as well and it doesn’t really test the board, it tests the BASIC Stamp I/O, but not the RAM.

Just for the record, that may verify the output capabilities of the pins, but it does no checking of the input capabilities, if they should differ.
