A solenoid is just an electromagnetic device.
It could have been tested with a multimeter via back probing the wiring connections.
Also the function of the actuator can be tested with a OBDII scanner that has test functions.
With my $175.00 Foxwell scanner I can trigger my actuators then not only hear the difference in how the engine runs.
I can also see the cam timing change and by how many degrees.
Very simple tests that verify function.
