As part of the AugerPrime upgrade, the Observatory is currently undergoing a modification of the surface detector stations, which involves a replacement of their electronics with a faster and a more powerful system that provides channels for additional detectors as well as increased dynamic range and processing capability, higher sampling frequency, and improved timing, calibration and monitoring systems. The testing of the new electronics boards will be conducted in three stages: the production test performed at the manufacturer site, the climate tests including accelerated ageing executed in a laboratory and finally the full functionality tests effectuated before the deployment at the Observatory in Argentina. A description of the test benches and the testing procedures is given together with some examples of the performance of the prototype.
