We used to have an old EPROM (the UV-erasable kind) programmer in the lab. I remember it also had a mode for testing 74xx series logic. I don't think it was ever used in that capacity though.
I actually watched a YouTube video the other day where someone used a similar programmer to test all the logic chips in his ZX-80: https://youtu.be/qqUxXrh_xgM (Spoiler warning: it didn't find the failure.)
