Random samples from a production run are pulled and tested for thickness, elasticity, density, tensile strength, permeability, and flexibility using various means and machines. Gabrielle Fallopio is generally credited for inventing the condom in 1564.

Yeah, they do a kind of X-ray test to every condom. You can rely on condoms, but sure you use new condoms, which were stored in mild temperature. Hot and cold may damage condoms.

As to your last question, barrier methods of birth control have been around for thousands of years, and while the modern condom is fairly new, the idea of using some type of sheath worn over the penis or a barrier placed in front of the cervix is really old. Condoms manufacturers inspect all condoms they make electronically and random samples are pulled for more extensive testing. A water leak test is required by the FDA, and FDA inspectors also test samples from manufacturers themselves. An average of 996 of 1000 condoms must pass, according to the FDA website. Most companies will also do air burst and tensile tests, visually inspect random samples, or include other testing. And I don't doubt that at some point some condom R&D team passed out samples to employees that maybe didn't need condoms, so they could test them and give notes on actual usage. As in "The good news is we're having another baby, the bad news is we're back to square one on product N-956." Although I'm sure that's not common when your condom company is a large corporation that may be wary of litigation.
