You can use the TEST command to:

Test a currently executing, unauthorized program.
Test an unauthorized program not currently executing.

You might want to test an executing program because it terminated abnormally or because you want to check the current environment to see that the program is executing properly.

You can use the TESTAUTH command to test an authorized program that is not currently executing.
