Another really useful test is to make a circle out of small linear segments. If there is some error happening on axis reversal, it will show up at the points where the movement reverses. Many step/direction drives have restrictions on when the direction signal can change relative to the last (or next) step pulse. If the required polarity of the step pulse gets reversed, it can make the cnc computer violate that requirement, and lose a step every reversal.
