The process of sending an alert like this is very likely to have numerous steps in the process, with the actual alert delivery being only the final one. This kind of alert would involve multiple agencies, communication channels, coordination, approvals, etc., all before the actual alert goes out. A test like this is designed to make sure all of those things are working. And yes, there’s definitely a log somewhere showing if delivery was successful, and collecting and analyzing that information after the alert is also probably part of the testing.
