no snapshot available .. i don't mind running basebackup once i've finished my test.
So if someone could help with the steps to turn off replication and bring secondary up as a standalone db that would be great
thanks.

Well, yes. It depends on what you want to do then. If this testing
really requires to promote the standby then you will need to take a
new fresh base backup knowing that you are using 9.2.
if the standby is running on a file system with snapshotting (like zfs), and the master is doing WAL archiving, you could, in theory, pause the replication and snapshot the slave, do read/write tests on the slave, then restore that snapshot and resume replication, pulling from the WAL archive til it catches up.
