In this note it is shown in the most frequently encountered spaces of test functions in the theory of generalized functions that the customary definitions of convergence are equivalent to apparently much weaker definitions. For example, in the space g the condition of uniform convergence of the functions together with all derivatives (which appears in the definition of convergence) is equivalent to the condition of pointwise convergence of the functions alone. Thus verification of convergence is simplified somewhat.
