Capacity, leakage, and resistance are the normal tests for most caps. I haven't heard the term G factor in relation to resistance but I wasn't trained to test all types of capacitors either. It seems like it is the quality of a capacitor at operating frequency or is that Q factor. I forget a lot of the electronics training I've had. Been too many years.
