CD32 Joypad test program

Is there a good test program that will test full CD32 Joypad functionality (e.g. 7 buttons)?

There are two alternative bluetooth adapters for Amiga, BlueRetro (PCB by Ozkano)and Bluepad32 (aka UniJoysticle 2) but neither currently support CD32 extended joypad functionality. It should be practical to emulate the 74LS165N shift register in the CD32 pad in FW in the ESP32 to add full CD32 compatibility.

The first starting point should be a test program for Amiga capable of testing the full CD32 pad capability.

I have seen this program by Psygore of WHDload but it is not clear if this really does test CD32 pad capability from the description alone, anyone used this to test CD32 pads?

I use JoyTest V1.0B, works great for testing Normal and CD32 pads.

I purchased a CD32 gamepad tester on ebay which works independently. You connect a PP3 battery and it let's you test all buttons without Amiga. Great if you want to test before purchase for example.
