You don't see the over flow tested other than just over filling the tub so that the tubs overflow is working.
Have you already flooded out the stacks and vents prior to this?
Often the tub's drain and overflow happen in a second inspection.
I have never seen a tub's overflow "Plugged". Never.

I have tested waste and overflows along with the rest of the piping when the tub will not have an access panel or backs up to an outside wall.
The thing is the manufacturer of your waste may not make a test kit for it. I'm not aware of a universal test kit so you may be stuck with disconnecting the waste and overflows and plugging the trap adapters
