you dont need to put the power supply in the case to test it. if it works, it works you dont need to wait till the fan start spinning. ground cable, do you mean the power cable?

You don't want to turn on the power supply without it being connected to something, such as a motherboard. WIthout a load on it, you'll burn the power supply up. That's one thing the power supply tester does.
