Disclosed is an apparatus for in-situ testing of a linear actuator configured to exert an actuation force in an actuation direction by movement of a first part of the actuator relative to a second part of the actuator. The apparatus comprises a test device, a test actuator and a measurement device. The test device comprises a first surface configured to contact the first part of the actuator, and a second surface configured to contact the second part of the actuator. The second surface is moveable relative to the first surface to alter a distance therebetween. The test actuator is configured to exert a test force in a direction opposite to the actuation direction, the test force being to drive movement of the second surface away from the first surface. The measurement device is for detecting a change in the distance between the first surface and the second surface.
