Flamenco v2 has a "test mode" for workers. This is implemented as a special status testing.

Workers in this status do connect to the Manager, but do not receive tasks to execute. This allows testing that a Worker can actually start up, shut down, connect properly before sending tasks to it.

Flamenco Manager v2 also had a built-in "test task" that could be sent to any Worker in testing status; this would allow testing whether Blender can actually be run succesfully on the Worker, before becoming a part of the actual render farm.
