Electrical circuit breakers, how do I check
The only accurate test for a GFCI or AFCI is the built in test button on the breaker/device. 

Anything else is convenient, but not completely accurate.

I have a suspicion that the circuit didn't work so you simply replaced the breaker, without troubleshooting to see if that was the actual problem. Most likely you have a problem with the circuit wiring or devices.
