GC, there are actually two different tests...a leak-off (LOT) and a formation integrity (FIT).
They both test the same things ie formation integrity and the shoe/cement integrity, for pressure.
LOT pressured up until the formation gives way to it and they note the pressure required and the fracture trend.
FIT pressured up to a pre-determined pressure to make sure the formation and shoe can take the anticipated pressure to enable drilling to section TD, and that you will be able to control the well in a situation and not have an underground blowout.
Or something like that.
On Baragatan they will be running an FIT, especially with the down hole pressures and instability they are/were encountering.
Note release indicates they are in better formation now, so hopefully we can still reach final TD by weekend, or over. ..XXXX (fingers crossed!).
