Ok, so what are these tests which prove (or even provide solid evidence for) natural selection is the driver of evolutionary change?

The new study — published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences — provides empirical support for the proposition that natural selection is a general force behind the formation of new species by analyzing the relationship between natural selection and the ability to interbreed in hundreds of different organisms — ranging from plants through insects, fish, frogs and birds — and finding that the overall link between them is positive.
Yes, I'm avoiding sexual selection. random mutation and other tangential discussions, but it is a relatively recent study that provides evidence along the lines you seek.
