Tested is a live album by punk rock band Bad Religion.^[3][4] It was recorded in the USA, Canada, Germany, Estonia, Denmark, Italy and Austria, in 1996, and released in 1997. It is Bad Religion's second live album. Instead of using crowd microphones and mobile studios like most live albums, the band tapped the inputs, for a result that portrays Bad Religion's live sound without crowd noise.^[3] It also includes three new songs; "Dream of Unity," "It's Reciprocal," and the title track.

Critical reception[]
