Can we test the connectivity from Apigee Saas to backend server without creating the proxy

No, you cannot.

Theoretically, the way to "test the connection" from an Apigee SaaS instance to some other system located elsewhere in the network is to open a terminal session on the Apigee SaaS instance, and then perform the connection to the other system.

That is not possible with Apigee SaaS - you don't have access to the Apigee SaaS system in that way.

Therefore the way to test the connectivity from Apigee Saas to a backend server is to create a proxy, specify the backend server as the target, and invoke the proxy.
