There are a number of low cost cable testers (including those which test HDMI cables), but there is a limitation with these units.
Such units can only check DC continuity on each conductor in the cable but cannot do any real world testing, especially at high frequencies; a HDMI cable may pass the continuity test but would not work between a TV and a normal HDMI source.
So therefore, such cable testers only do static tests and not dynamic tests.
