contents We study test sets: subfamilies of sequences converging to a point P that still suffice to detect every discontinuity of real-valued functions at P. Ordered by inclusion, these test sets form a poset. Under natural hypotheses at P, we prove that this poset has a minimal element. We also analyze its maximal chains, showing that some have a least element, while others do not. Finally, on the sequential fan we give a concrete realization in which the minimal test set produced by our construction has strictly smaller cardinality than the full family of convergent sequences.
