Kinda goofy so interested in this thread. These are my Southern AZ bikes where everything has thorns so I always carry a tube and patch kit for my self and others. I spend a few years in the PRC and can tell you there is a guy at his tire and minor bike repair stand on every corner of the less wealthy areas of cities, they know glues.
The only test I do is put air in them, and verify that it holds for a minute or three. I've patched enough tubes that I know my patch is good, the only reason I test is it's not uncommon to discover a second puncture. If I've done something like repair a two inch tear, I will leave it inflated overnight.
