A test light, test lamp, voltage tester, or mains tester is a piece of electronic test equipment used to determine the presence of electricity in a piece of equipment under test. A test light is simpler and less costly than a measuring instrument such as a multimeter , and often suffices for checking for the presence of voltage on a conductor.
Entry-level cable testers are essentially continuity testers. A continuity tester is an item of electrical test equipment used to determine if an electrical path can be established between two points; [1] that is if an electrical circuit can be made. The circuit under test is completely de-energized prior to connecting the apparatus. [1]
In electronics, a continuity test is the checking of an electric circuit to see if current flows (that it is in fact a complete circuit). A continuity test is performed by placing a small voltage (wired in series with an LED or noise-producing component such as a piezoelectric speaker ) across the chosen path.
Capable of measuring AC/DC voltage up to 600 volts and 10 amperes of DC current, as well as functioning as an audible continuity tester, this machine is versatile enough to cover the majority of ...

Electronic test equipment is used to create signals and capture responses from electronic devices under test (DUTs). In this way, the proper operation of the DUT can be proven or faults in the device can be traced. Use of electronic test equipment is essential to any serious work on electronics systems.

Some manufacturers include a continuity test lamp function in a solenoid meter; these use the same probes as the voltage test function. This feature is useful when testing the status of contacts in energized circuits. The continuity light displays if the contact is closed, and the solenoid voltmeter shows voltage presence if open (and energized).
