A test method is described in which a signal from a tester enters a memory chip or memory module into a special test mode. The special test mode allows leakage defects connected to bit lines to be detected using bit line sense amplifiers. A first test command is issued by a tester, after which a word line is activated. The tester issues a second test command, delayed from the first test command, during the special test mode to turn-on the memory bit line sense amplifiers. The delayed second test command allows sufficient time for the leakage from defects at the crossing of the bit lines and the word line to charge capacitance of the bit lines and allow detection by the sense amplifiers.
