Abstract
A method, a system, and a computer program product for managing one or more electronic devices. Performance of an electronic device is monitored and presented to a user through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a computer. The performance of the electronic device is controlled automatically, or by the user through the GUI. The invention also enables automatic testing of the electronic device through the GUI by setting up test configurations, activating test signals, and interpreting any error codes that may be generated. Further, data generated by the monitoring, control and testing of the electronic device can be saved.
