There are really only two definitive methods for testing tubes which cover a wide range of parameters. One is the General Radio Vacuum Tube Bridge (the subject of that article) and the other is a curve tracer. The GR bridge was the standard method for creating characteristic curves back in the day. I own one of the GR bridges, but mine is older and simpler than the one in the article.
