Testing film.

I have a bulk load of T-Max 100 that I'll probably sell/trade.Can I simply develop a few feet of unexposed film to check that the product is still usable?
Probably a stupid question but it would make things easier if I could figure out a method of checking the films viability.

For ease of mind I would expose and develop a few negatives, and perhaps compare your film with some fresh Tmax film in order to see if it has elevated fog.
