I'm working on this one too. I bought a service bell that lays on the floor and is easy for Molly to reach. I started out with helping her ring it while I was saying "time to go potty" and then I'd give her a Cheerio for ringing the bell.
Now she will ring it by herself when I tell her it's time to go potty. I hope that the next step will be her ringing it to tell me when she needs to go out. I'm like you in that I've tried to "test" her, but it always ends up in an accident.
Good luck!!
