Testing NRF5 series without antenna

Hi,

We are currently trying to design a system using one of the nrf5 bluetooth chips. However, we are still in the process of designing a functional antenna and need to test that other aspects of the chip are working correctly. For example, one thing we would like to do is sample on the ADC and receive the data to see if that portion is working. Since we won't have a working antenna is it possible to do these test and sending of data with chips UART functionality? Or would someone recommend a better way to send data from the chip and test it without the bluetooth capability. 

Thanks!
