What would be the next step in testing an innoperable electrical
outlet?
All the outlets connected to one circuit breaker do not work.
I've replaced the circuit breaker and outlets, but still nothing.
what should be done next

There are several logical steps available for someone with limited
troubleshooting skills.
1) Replace all the wiring
2) Learn how to troubleshoot
3) Find someone who knows how to troubleshoot

If all of the outlets on the entire circuit are dead, you need to find the
break in the cable between the panel and the first outlet or run a new cable

How are you determining the outlets are "dead?"
How did you know which breaker to change?
Has there been any rewiring lately?
Did the outlets EVER work?
Do you have a multimeter or an ohmmeter?
I think a little more info would bein order here. IFF you've
replaced the right breaker, and done so properly, then the
problem is going to be an open wire someplace between the breaker
and the first "dead" outlet in the line.
