I'm installing a shower (fibreglas enclosure) and I'm about to start on the rough plumbing. Copper, sweated fittings. Is there any way to test the plumbing for leaks before I install shower walls and the shower cartridge, etc.?

When testing a shower valve, you will want a test nipple with cap.
When installing the trim, you remove that and install the shower arm.
