Abstract: Embodiments for testing a wireless network location by a processor. A collection of candidate wireless network test locations is selected for testing wireless network communication according to defined constraints, conditions, testing parameters, or a combination thereof. A self-directed, mobile wireless access point (WAP) is dispatched to at least one stationary location from the collection. A self-directed, testing receiver may be commanded to progressively move to each candidate test location along a testing route of the collection. The testing attributes relating to wireless network communication performance are measured for each of the candidate test locations along the testing route of the collection. Qualified WAP locations are identified from the candidate test locations based on the measured testing attributes.
