Are there lab tests to confirm the diagnosis of mumps?

Yes, mumps titers : Can be obtained, at least in the us. The results take a while to return. A physician who has experience in diagnosing &treating mumps usually does not need titers to confirm a clinical diagnosis, but it is important for public health reasons.
