The Bible talks about testing, too:

1) God tests our hearts for obedience.

"And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove (test) thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no." Deuteronomy 8:2
2) If it passes the test of goodness, hang on to it!

"Prove (test) all things; hold fast that which is good."
1 Thessalonians 5:21
