You don't need test kit to cycle you aquarium it's just to test when it has matured.
Start your tank without any fish for the first 1-2 week and then gradually increase the bioload

I am agree to Sushant. No need of Test kits in initial phase.

You do not need to change water, Just keep ur filters and air stone running in the 1st two weeks and then release the Pets. But while releasing your pets please adjust the water temperature by floating the Pack on the water for at least 20 mins, keep the filters, air pump off for at least one hour and the lights for d day. This will not cause ur fish Stressed. Do not feed for two days and gradually give them food as much they can finish in a minute.

You can also bypass the process of Cycle by using a used canister filter is this tank or by mixing some mulm from another aquarium to your tank.

After one week introduce fishes in this tank. I uses the same process in all of my tanks.
