Greetings,
You must use an Authorize.Net developer account (test account) to test ARB transactions. You may apply for a test account here:
http://developer.authorize.net/testaccount/
Thank You!

Hi lokeskumarn,
Instead of using the live account and setting the parameter X_test_request=true
to test cancellation of subscripton ,you may create the test account and download
the sample code from john conde's site.This makes your subscription cancellation easier.
Thanks and Regards,

I’m using this code with an authorize sandbox account and I’m successfully getting a subscription ID returned (so, a successful transaction). Yet when I view “unsettled” transactions in my account, under the “Recurring Billing Transaction” field, I’m seeing a “no”. Does this mean it did not work (and gave false success reports) or simply that the sandbox dev account/that screen does not reflect ARBs?
If the latter is true, where do I check to be double sure that the ARB went through? Not even my email confirmations say that I enabled ARB, so I’m just scared its not actually happening. I want to nail this, obviously, before I deploy the app.

It is actually expected behavior that the "Recurring Billing" flag is set to false for the first transaction generated by an ARB subscription. Despite the obvious simularity in name of the Recurring Billing flag" and the Automated Recurring Billing (ARB) system, they are not actually directly related. The Recurring Billing flag is an informational flag sent to the payment processor to inform them that this is is a recurring transaction and that you have previously validated the payment information. The use of the flag often causes a change in behavior at the processor such as disabling Address Verification. For the first transaction generated by ARB, it is not appropriate to send this flag as true because the payment information has (presumably) not yet been validated. You should see it set as true for all following transactions unless you update the billing information in the subscription.
