Transaction WE19 is your main tool to test both inbound and outbound Idocs, whether set up completely or not. The test tool is effectively an editor with which an Idoc can be set up and then send out or in.
Even if you have the inbound processing function module which has not been set up (no partner profile, ports, etc) the module can be tested. The transaction has a selection screen which allows you to build your Idoc, e.g. from an existing one (my favorit way) or by specifying the message type, basic type and extension. The result of WE19 is an Idoc, either inbound or outbound. Idocs that were created with the test transaction have a special status: "74: This Idoc has been generated though a test transaction". Testing Idocs is an ongoing thing, and you won't have to do the same changes again and again, the transaction will hang on to the last Idoc created...
One thing that cannot be tested with WE19 is what would happen is the Customer Distrubution Model, which would only be started when an Idoc without receiver is handed to the system. Use the following hand-made tool to accomplish this:
This is a short Idoc generation program that allows Idocs that are produced e.g. by WE19to be created without receivers, so effectively handing them to the Customer Distribution Model:
