1. A method of testing automatic data collection devices, the method comprising:
- automatically determining a set of functionalities of a target automatic data collection device to be tested;
based on the determined set of functionalities of the target automatic data collection device, automatically identifying a number of automatic data collection tests to be run against the target automatic data collection device;
determining whether any of the identified automatic data collection tests are indicated as being disabled;
executing at least one of the identified automatic data collection tests against the target automatic data collection device, but not executing against the target automatic data collection device any of the identified automatic data collection tests that are indicated as being disabled; and
at least temporarily storing a set of results from the execution of the identified automatic data collection tests against the target automatic data collection device.

Abstract
Automatic data collection devices such as barcode readers, RFID readers, magnetic stripe readers and the like may be tested using ADC device test executables, modules, or processes stored at a variety of network locations. One or more sets of tests or work lists may be defined to facilitate testing. Tests may be identified by name and/or keyword. Keywords may be indicative one or more functionalities tested by the respective ADC device test module.

9. A method of facilitating testing automatic data collection devices, the method comprising:
-
forming a first set of data that identifies a plurality of automatic data collection device tests, where an executable module for a respective one of each of the automatic data collection tests are stored at a number of different storage locations; and assigning at least a first identifier to the first set of data that identifies the number of automatic data collection device tests. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system for facilitating testing automatic data collection devices, the system comprising:
-
a network port to provide communications via a network; a processor coupled to the network port; and a processor-readable medium that stores instructions that cause the processor to facilitate testing by; forming a first set of data that identifies a plurality of automatic data collection device tests, where an executable module for a respective one of each of the automatic data collection tests are stored at a number of different storage locations; and assigning at least a first identifier to the first set of data that identifies the number of automatic data collection device tests. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
