[SalesForce] How to Access Remote Action From Test Class

How can I access a remote action from a test class? Here is what I have so far:

@remoteAction
public static Boolean createCaseRA(String newJCase,String prevCase){
    system.debug('Remote Prev Case>>>>'+prevCase);
    Case prevDTCase = new Case();

Accessing a remote action method is the same as accessing any other static method:

@isTest static void test() {
  // Set up your data first
  // Then...
  Test.startTest();
  String newJCaseParam = ..., prevCaseParam = ...;
  Boolean expectedResult = true, // or false, whatever you expect
    result = ClassName.createCaseRA(newJCaseParam, prevCaseParam);
  Test.stopTest();
  System.assertEquals(expectedResult, result);
}

[SalesForce] how to call a generic @RemoteAction from different VF Pages

If you have the remote action in a class called MyRemoteClass

global class MyRemoteClass{

     @RemoteAction
     global static string sayHello(String val){
        return 'Hello ' + val;
     }

}

then all you do in the VF page is call

MyRemoteClass.sayHello(helloTo, function(result, event){
                    if(event.status) {
                        document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = result;
                    }
                });

The remote action does not need to be in the controller that the page is using. That is why it is a static method with the appropriate access modifier (You will still need to add the class to the page extensions though)

[SalesForce] How to override an inherited static remote method in APEX or VisualForce

I guess you have two options:

Raise a bug on the developer forums to see if Salesforce will specifically handle the case where both the parent and child class define the same static remote action method.
Rename the child static method to something else, such as remoteMethodC

I'd recommend the second approach for a few reasons:

It will be clearer to others that the child class is doing something different to the remote action to the base class. Developers probably wouldn't immediately go looking for the definition of the static method in both classes.
You aren't gaining much by using the same method name. It's not like the usage will be polymorphic, as the Visualforce page would need an explicit reference to the child class. Any code reuse would require the child class to call the base classes static method. This isn't dependent on the child class method name.
You won't need to raise a bug with Salesforce support and wait for it to be resolved.
