A system and method are disclosed for remote testing of items where the tests
are
performed at a first site and monitored and controlled at a second site. A first
remote test control station at the first site includes a test bench device for
testing the items, and a video meeting station for viewing and controlling the
test bench device. The second site includes a remote test control station, where
the second remote test control station can control the testing parameters of the
test equipment used by the test bench device, in near real time. The second remote
test control station at the second site and the video meeting station at the first
