as of 1992 there is no testing of nuclear explosives in the US. that is now only done by computer simulation on very expensive supercomputers.

the nonexplosive parts of nuclear warheads do still undergo both lab tests and test missile launches.

How many countries have tested nuclear missiles?

Rarely are missiles tested with actual nuclear warheads. It would be utter foolishness and very dangerous to do so before the missile was tested and proven reliable first. The warhead(s) are usually replaced with radio telemetry devices or a satellite, during development testing of the missile, to verify its performance and reliability. This makes it very easy to codevelop a peaceful rocket for launching spacecraft and a military ICBM in the same project, if you already have or are developing nuclear explosives. Just think of the warheads the US could have put on Apollo Project type Saturn-IB boosters had we so chosen to use them as ICBMs!
