1. A tester for testing an electrical component, the tester comprising:
a database of a plurality of testing specifications for a plurality of different electrical components, wherein the database stores, for each testing specification, identification data that includes a resistance that defines an associated electrical component;
a tester connector for physically and electrically connecting to different electrical components;
an output device;
at least one processor in operable communication with the database and the output device, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute program instructions, wherein the program instructions are configured to cause the at least one processor to:
identify a resistance of an electrical component connected to the tester connector and provide corresponding identification data;
retrieve a testing specification associated with the electrical component from the database using the identification data;
command a test of the electrical component according to the testing specification; and
output an indication of a result of the test through the output device.
