In one embodiment, a test system comprises a first interface for communicating with remote devices; a second interface for communicating with local devices; a memory for storing information, including information received from the first interface and second interface; a processor for automatically configuring test system components in accordance with the information stored in the memory. The test system components comprise a network access point simulation component and a local control component. The network access point simulation component is configured to simulate communication network access point operations comprising test interactions with user equipment. The number of devices under test included in the user equipment and distinct network access points that are coincidentally simulated can be variable. The local control component is configured to direct the network access point simulation component and to control the test interactions with the user equipment.
