The only reliable test is the written questionnaire by Dr. Crook. The only way to know for sure if one has Candida is by their symptoms. If someone has only a handful of minor symptoms and they can feel better with some minor changes in diet and a round of antifungals, then they probably don't have systemic Candida; it is probably restricted to their gut. On the other hand, if someone has a long list of severe symptoms and the only way they can keep their Candida under control is by constantly following a Candida diet, taking antifungals and probiotics, etc. then they probably have systemic.
