A quick, simple and effective testing of a fire alarm, should include:

You should make sure that the fire alarm sounds out is a loud and clear manner and for a long enough period. If the sound the device produces is ‘weak’, infrequent and does not sound out for long enough, it could be a sign that the battery is failing or that the device is faulty.
