Use BS2830 and/or BT2630 as a beginning. You will find a description
of how to use this tests in the REBEL 9 FAQ at http://www.rebel.nl/faq.htm

You will find the test at my downlaod area (maro's explorer area)

I don't think, that there is any relationship between ANY test and
ELO or USCF rating. You will only get some kind of trend, how a
certain program handles certain kind of positions, that's all.

I will add a description of how to use the BT2450, BT2630 and BS2830
tests to the archives in the next weeks.
