Hmmm .... PUC inspectors were riding the cars when the doors failed to open, and then the cars were deemed unfit for service.
Whether you wish to call it a "test" or not, the failure occurred while PUC inspectors were riding!

In a letter Monday, the PUC informed BART General Manager Grace Crunican that the railcars were running as a single train with inspectors from the commission on board. The train failed to recognize it was 10 cars in length, the letter said, and identified itself as a three-car train.
