arc fault tripping check list

[alfiesauce]

I'm wondering if anybody here has complied a list - atleast in their heads - of all the different ways to test for the cause of a 'phantom' arc fault tripping.
I've been doing a bit of research-
-Meggering the circuit with no loads attached to it will tell you if your wiring is ok, but won't really tell you about correct solid connections at devices.
-Square D recommends trying a gfci breaker in place of the arc fault to determine if it's a ground fault issue as gfcis trip at 5ma instead of I believe the 50ma of an arcfault.

any other thoughts?

edit-
sorry... this maybe should have been in another forum thread.

you can get the ideal suretest circuit analyzer to check for shared neutral and loose connections. or to just check loose connections by measuring FOP with longer leads. or just open every box and visually check
