Tests is an album by The Microphones. It was first released as a cassette tape on Knw-Yr-Own in 1998. A CD release by Elsinor followed in the same year, but the track listing was a mixture of The Microphones's three previous albums: Microphone, Wires and Cords, and the Tests cassette. Most of the material was recorded at The Business while Elverum worked there.^[1]

Tests was re-issued on cassette in an edition of 20 by P.W. ELVERUM & SUN, ltd. The re-issue was to celebrate Record Store Day 2011 and was only available at The Business in Anacortes, WA. A few additional copies were sold online via P.W. ELVERUM & SUN, ltd.
