Judging by the OP's post, I get the impression that he is not that versed in electrical issues. Most of the replies, tho correct, are probably too technical for the OP's purposes. I think the only way to get a correct answer is to call out a different electrician to inspect all aspects of the wiring to insure that everything was wired correctly from the source so that ALL of the 50 amp outlets are capable of supplying the required 50 amp service the customers are paying for.
This can all be done with a physical inspection of the wire gauge, length of run, source capacity, etc, without hooking up a bunch of loads, which would only be valid if the loads were set up on all 50 amp pedestals at the same time to check for voltage drop.
Another electrician will also check for loose connections while he is doing the inspection.
If the source capacity is sufficient and the wire gauge is correct for the run, then a load test will be fine and unnecessary.
