If I am not mistaking...tests are carried out for blade containment are for the low pressure stages by wrapping advanced carbon shielding within the cowling. (OR what ever they use now at Airbus) High pressure compressor and turbine blades are not tested for containment, but the engine is tested to verify it's integrity in case it losses one of these blades.
