In a code division multiple access communication system, a method and apparatus provide for an efficient testing of operating behavior of quality indicator bit. The method and the accompanying apparatus include configuring a receiver to expect to receive a communication channel at full data rate, and transmitting a signal from a transmitter to the receiver. The signal is carrying the communication channel at a data rate other then said full data rate, and at a power level for receiving at the full data rate. Consequently, the receiver fails to receive the communication channel at the data rate. A received signal to noise ratio of the received signal at the receiver is determined. A value of the quality indicator bit is determined based on the determined signal to noise ratio. The determined value of the quality bit is communicated to the transmitter.
