A system and method for the direct inspection of an optical module. The system includes an optical receiver and/or an optical transmitter, an alignment means precisely dimensioned to interface with a predetermined optical coupling device, and electrical connection means operative to energize an optical coupling device or to receive an electrical output from an optical coupling device. These components may be integrated into a testing probe head. To inspect, the optical module is optically interfaced using precisely dimensioned alignment means, electrically interfacing the optical coupling device to energize the optical coupling device and/or to receive an electrical output from said predetermined optical coupling device. Further, the optical module is either electrically energized and the optical output measures, or optically energized and the electrical output measured. The measured optical or electrical output is compared to the expected output based on the electrical or optical energy applied.
