Dear sirs,
In accordance to NFPA-20, hose valves shall be installed for pump testing.
What could be the advisable time the pump test should last?

If this is an acceptance test, it is a minimum 1-hour test. And during the test I seem to recall it requires 6 manual and 4 automatic starts. One of those test must be under a full pump demand condition.
If your driver is electric and was required to be connected to a standby power source, an additional load test of the pump while the generator is running is also required.
See NFPA 20.
