-1 Live CD is out of date, not contains all the updates.
(But this is possible with working internet connection)

The LiveCD *is* the test (and a recovery environment). If the system works (although slower) when running on the LiveCD, then it will work when run off the hard drive. At worst, the LiveCD gives false negatives (I've had a fresh install prompt for proprietary video card drivers but not the LiveCD - this may be due to a bug in the drivers themselves, though).
Additional tests cold be useful, however, with tests for stuff such as Compiz, video card drivers, and wireless chipset drivers.
Something like Compiz-check: http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2008/4/28/Introducing-Compiz-Check--a-script- to-test-and-troubleshoot-your-Compiz-install
Overall: +1, Interesting
