You have to open each receptacle and physically check each connection. The tester would only show if the connection in is probably good, not the connection out condition. As earlier said any back stabs need to be moved to the screws. Also any wire nut connections need to be tugged on at least and screws checked for tightness. In old houses there could also be a bad connection in a ceiling box so any lights need checking too.
