Where do you have this information from ?

I would be very very surprised if the A330 wasn't stall tested. I know that other models have been (see eg.
about the A380 testing - see the comments on stall in the full description on youtube) and as far as I know it is required for certification.

The A330 (and in fact any airliner) will not have been tested to the AOAs that 447 went to (this may be what you are confused on?). Nor will it ever. As I think someone else already posted recently, no one would be suicidal enough to try the 447 stall in the real a/c (and therefore there is no real data for recovery profile in the Sim either - it's all extrapolated).
