A method for facilitating basic input and output system (BIOS) testing is provided. In the method, a BIOS program code to be tested is loaded into a memory unit by a BIOS debugging card to execute a boot operation testing. The method of BIOS testing utilizes an uninterruptible power supply memory disposed on the motherboard. The uninterruptible power supply memory is powered with a battery, thus it can store the data of a command in executing during shutdown. By using this characteristic of the uninterruptible power supply memory, the tester can still obtain the debugging code last stored during the previous boot from the uninterruptible power supply memory when rebooting, thus preventing the debugging code generated in the BIOS debugging flow from disappearing due to the abnormal shutdown and resulting in the failure to get the source of the problem for the tester, increasing the efficiency of debugging.
