They stress test it by using their equipment. They will probably pull X wattage through the power supply at X temperature for a period of time. If it doens't fail, it passes. If it fails then they give you a replacement unit.

As to what Badboy17 said, i would advise you still not to use it because your psu is not a true 550W power supply. It is not designed for working with a graphic card.Don't use it at all with your R9 270.
Wattage isn't everything. The amps on your psu is not enough for a R9 270.
