The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) is currently under construction in Germany in Hamburg area. Part of
the XFEL is a 2.1 km long superconducting linear accelerator which consists of 100 accelerating cryomodules. Each
accelerating cryomodule consist eight superconducting 9-cell Niobium cavities, one superconducting magnet and
current leads unit. The mentioned components (current leads, cold magnets and current leads) are tested in dedicated
test facilities before installing in the cryomodules. After completing each cryomodule is tested in dedicated test facility
before installation in the XFEL tunnel. The testing procedures for tests of the cold magnets, current leads, cavities and
cryomodules were prepared with use of DESY expertise from TTF (Tesla Test Facility) Collaboration and FLASH
(Freie-Elektronen-Laser in Hamburg). This paper describes the whole testing procedure covering incoming and outgoing
inspections. An update of testing procedures including the full automation of testing process and the preliminary tests
results are presented as well.
