Let (R, m) be a Noetherian local reduced ring of positive prime characteristic. We show that if R is ℚ-Gorenstein then the test ideal of R localizes, which extends a result of K. E. Smith. We also show that if Rc, is weakly F-regular and ℚ-Gorenstein, then c has a power which is a completely stable test element. This extends results of Höchster and Huneke.
