Depends on which Test Ban Treaty you are referring to. The first, the LTBT or ATBT which banned tests in the atmosphere underwater and space, was signed in 1963; several progressively more restrictive treaties have been signed since then. Current treaties ban all tests except those of such low yield as to be undetectable underground. Such low yield tests are only useful for safety verifications, they are useless for development.
