I only test it once per week, that way I don;t get into the habit of chasing levels.. so lets say I tested tonight and my Alk was 9.4 and my Ca was 420, I would bump up my bubbles a little (say from 30/min to 40/min wait a week and test again. this will alow time for thw whole system to readjust and stabalize..
now having said that if you are having a problem and are trying to fix it then I would test a little more often and then try to resist any frequent adjustments, but as long as the levels are "close" then once a week would be plenty in my opinion.
