For your consolation, I tried all sort of tests many times, I even "invented" 3 of my own, and they simply don't work. A better way, I think, is to look at the games that go to the ending with more or less even chances and see who wins them and how. A few games will tell you which programs play better endings. In my opinion, Hiarcs, Tiger, Shredder, Mchess and Genius. Junior 5 is by no means weaker than the rest in the endgame. Enrique > or 2) endgame skills >have not so much importance.
