What is the best way to test a circuit design with surface mount parts?

Protoboards have holes in them for through-hole components. Unfortunately many components nowadays are ONLY available as surface mount, meaning you really can't test your circuit on protoboard if any of the components in the circuit are only available as surface mount components, unfortunately. It would be nice if there was some kind of surface mount to pins adapter that would let you attach a surface mount component to a protoboard, but I don't see how such an adapter could be made.

That's cool. I didn't even know such existed.

That site just sells cheap Chinese junk. I'd prefer major electronic component distributors like Mouser or Digikey.
