1. A method for well testing using a tubing hanger deployed apparatus, comprising:
shutting in a well and connecting a pressure control system and a tool string to an adapted tubing hanger plug;
installing the pressure control system outside a borehole and installing the tool string and the adapted tubing hanger plug into the borehole;
opening the borehole for a fluid flow;
measuring a flow rate of the fluid flow through the borehole using a flowmeter;
measuring physical properties of the fluid flow with sensors on the tool string;
closing a surface safety valve;
retrieving the tool string; and
downloading data for analysis of the flow rate and physical properties measured.
