Yes & No. There were 2 types of atomic bomb dropped on Japan. The Hiroshima bomb was a gun type weapon called "Little Boy".

It was tested at Trinity site in July 1945,& the bombs were dropped on Japan a few weeks later. So, yes, one type of bomb was tested, one time, before they were used on Japan.
