A system (100) for testing is disclosed. The system (100) comprises a pipe joint having a male pipe section (102) and a female pipe section (104), a test port (106) disposed in a test space provided on the male pipe section (102) and a testing apparatus. The testing apparatus comprises a needle (112), a tubing (114) attached to the needle (112), a pressure supply assembly (116) attached to the tubing (114) in order to provide a predetermined air pressure while testing of the pipe joint and a ballast (118) adapted to support and hold the tubing (114) in order to provide necessary length of the tubing (114) to insert the needle (112) inside the test port (106). Further, the test port (106) is fixed into the interior diameter of the male pipe section (102) and is secured into the test space of the male pipe section (102) using a fastening means.
