I've never seen a fire marshall do that. The gas is way to expensive for discharging, just to test it. The systems are engineered very carefully to establish the quantity of gas needed, the alarms and solenoids are checked for proper operation while NOT attached to the gas bottles, and a fan test is done to check the room integrity.

Dumping the gas in one of my typical systems would generate a 6-figure bill to replace it.
