I dont own a sophisticated afci tester and there is considerable debate if any afci test other than the test button is valid but do own a fancy gfci tester and was a bit disappointed these devices dont support both afci and gfci protection as that seems like it would provide maximum overall safety

I believe there are dual afcigfci breaker style devices available

Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It seems like most of the electronics needed for afci is the same as gfci current sense microcontroller and its just the microcontroller programming thats different so why doesnt the programming do both
