They make circuit testers like this one for only a few dollars and it verifies that your outlet is wired properly too! and can test the GFCI to verify it's operation.

If you plug this into a properly wired non-GFCI circuit, the lamp will light but will trip the circuit immediately if it is GFCI. -Pete
