Default Just installed OEM trailer brakes..

Ok, I just got the controlelr and bezel in today and I installed them without issue. Now the question is how do I know if they are working? I dont have a trailer yet just preping the truck to tow a camper I yet to find and buy... I was looking at the 7 pin testers and none say they test electric brakes?? Short of hooking up to a trailer and using the manual slider to stop the trailer while not using the truck is the only way I know ..
