Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for performing tests on a device under test (DUT) based on training data derived from a set of training DUTs using nearfield measurement data. Nearfield measurement data can be mapped to performance metrics that approximate performance metrics derived from the far-field measurement data. Nearfield measurements can then be performed on a DUT to generate second nearfield measurement data, and performance metrics of the DUT are generated using the second nearfield measurement data and the mapped performance metrics derived from the training DUTs.
