Q: How do I test snort alerts and logging?

A: Try a rule that will fire off all the time like:
        alert tcp any any -> any any (msg:"TCP traffic";)
Also take a look at sneeze at http://snort.sourceforge.net/sneeze-1.0.tar 
Sneeze is a false positive generator that reads snort signatures and 
generates packets that will
trigger the rules.
