1. A method for analyzing the performance of a pump, comprising:

  • receiving test data that reflects a test performance of the pump during a test;

    receiving reference data that reflects a reference performance of the pump;

    performing computations on the test data to generate actual performance data;

    comparing the actual performance data against the reference data to provide at least one comparison result;

    automatically assigning a grade to the pump based on said at least one comparison result; and

    presenting information regarding the assigned grade to a user,wherein the comparing comprises;

    computing plural ranges that describe plural respective deviations from the reference data; and

    determining said at least one comparison result by determining which of the plural ranges that the actual performance data lies within,wherein the plural ranges each represents a prescribed percent deviation from the reference data.
