Bluetooth has solidified its place as one of the most prominent and versatile wireless communication technology alongside Wi-Fi. In spite of its widespread usage, contemporary Bluetooth testing technology still has many unaddressed shortcomings and issues. Hardware limitations, computational complexity, and the lack of standardization are some of the longstanding problems. Furthermore, very few systems possess a proven and reliable capability to test both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. This thesis seeks to develop an adaptive Bluetooth test framework that can not only overcome limitations with existing systems but can also accommodate other technologies and protocols as well. The work presented in this thesis included: a packet processing and logging utility, a promiscuous packet capture subsystem built around a production test engine, and a complementary subsystem that handle encryption and other security mechanisms.
