Testing with the pump inline is problematic for either test because if it leaks, you don't know if it is the lid or not and the lid is really a weak spot.
If the suction side plumbing can be isolated, then pressure or suction test should work fine.
A plug in the pump inlet could isolate the suction line and a fitting in the skimmer could pressurize the line.
