Please note that the test credit card is not meant to test the gateway configuration. The test credit card is useful for generating orders without incurring transaction fee's.. To test the configuration of your actual gateway it's best tp create a real order using real credit card details. Some gateways show an option for a test gateway which allows you to temporaily place the gateway into the test mode and then use the specific card numbers your gateway provides for testing purposes.
