A continuity test system (100), includes a base unit (1) and a mobile unit (9). The base unit (1) is adapted to be connected to a first portion of a test item, and, the mobile unit (9) is both interconnected to said base unit (1), and adapted to be connected to a second portion of said test item. The continuity test system (100) includes a signal generator (2), adapted to generate a dual polarity measurement signal, a measurement unit (14), adapted to measure electrical parameters of said test item (16)as said dual polarity measurement signal is applied thereto, and, a processor (13, 4), to process said measured electrical parameters and provide a resultant continuity test signal output.
