I'm trying to test to see if transactions went through or not and blockchain.info is super helpful for this on the real network.

Yes, blockchain.info has its own testnet service: https://testnet.blockchain.info/

but testnet.blockchain.info/pushtx seems to just redirect to blockchain.com/btc/pushtx -- which doesn't look like testnet to me– ekkisCommented Jan 7, 2020 at 6:20

42022 update - testnet.blockchain.info does not seem to be working - does anyone have an updated url for this service from blockchain.info or do I have to find another provider?– apleroyCommented Jan 26, 2022 at 22:07
www.blocktrail.com/tBTC now supports testnet too and has an API for it too (including wallet API)

TestNet Bitcoin Block Explorer appears to be not working too well at the moment. However, BTCLook does appear to be supporting TestNet and looks like a good alternative.
Your could also use Biteasy.com Testnet Block Explorer which is pretty fast and also includes a REST API.

You can use mine, for now it's on a best effort basis
host: 'rcorbish.ydns.eu',
port: 18332,
user: 'bitcoinrpc',
pass: 'password'

A bitcoin daemon isn't exactly a replacement for blockchain.info. For one, it doesn't have a user interface that a non-technical person can easily use. Commented Oct 27, 2015 at 13:06

I might be a little late to the game here, but blockchain.info do offer testnet resources for SegWit2x. Go to https://testnet5.blockchain.info and you'll see an identical site to the original, but with testnet coins.

This is actually very helpful to me! Thanks, I didn't know that Commented Oct 5, 2017 at 19:29

Oh, it's actually bitcoin2x testnet, not bitcoin core testnet. That's very confusing actually. Please note it in the answer Commented Oct 5, 2017 at 19:50

Oh sorry, I didn't notice that! I haven't got around using it yet so I didn't know.– CelsiussCommented Oct 6, 2017 at 20:12

the hostname does not resolve. I tried also just 'testnet' but it just redirects to the mainnet page :(– ekkisCommented Jan 7, 2020 at 7:13
Coinprism.info has a testnet blockchain explorer. It does colored coins as well.
Note that the SSL certificate is self signed.
The testnet block explorer and API for blockchain.info doesn't appear to be working at the time of writing (July 2021). It may get fixed but in the meantime or perhaps regardless blockstream.info can be used instead.
Yes. Blockchain.info has its own testnet service, Check this link https://testnet.blockchain.info/
