I've been screaming about this from the roof tops for quite a while.
Don't get too excited with testing though. That's because the requirements generics must satisfy are less strict than brand, and somewhere in there is hidden the reason we often hear of people saying their generic did not work as well, or at all, compared to brand. Testing won't change those loose standards. It will only verify that they are within the loose guidelines.
Not to bash generics, once in a while they are better than brand. Usually the complaints are the opposite though.
