Narrative:

Climbing out of FL337 for FL350, I was in the left seat flying and another captain was working the radios. He had already advised ATC that we were doing a maintenance flight with a possibility of engine loss requiring a quick descent. He advised no emergency would be called unless we lost the other engine. The test engine (#1) flamed out going through approximately FL337. I steadied the aircraft and reached to guard the good throttle. Before I could get to the throttle, the other pilot had shut down the good engine. I told him he had just shut down the good engine and I called for a secure checklist to prepare for a possible relight. He called ATC, declared an emergency and requested lower. ATC gave us lower, and I put the nose down to get down and build up the speed for a relight. Going through approximately FL300, both engines relit. We stopped our descent at FL270 and requested climb to FL290 to complete the acceleration check. The other pilot cleared the emergency with ATC and we continued on our flight. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the aircraft was being flown to test the new engine change on the #1 position. The reporter said the cause of the flame out on #1 engine may have been ignition problems but was not certain. The reporter said the emergency was canceled after both engines were relit and the trip continued.
