1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
displaying an interface configured to present testing options for testing an undersea fiber optic cable;
receiving a selection of a set of the testing options using the interface;
accessing a test set configuration structure comprising a plurality of predetermined configurations for the undersea fiber optic cable;
automatically selecting one of the predetermined configurations based on the selected set of testing options;
programmatically configuring the undersea fiber optic cable with the selected predetermined configuration;
testing a first of a plurality of fibers within the undersea fiber optic cable using the selected set of testing options to generate test results, the testing comprising communicating a broadband test signal between a first testing terminal physically located at a first end of the undersea fiber optic cable and a second testing terminal physically located at a second end of the undersea fiber optic cable over a second of the plurality of fibers within the undersea fiber optic cable including the first of the plurality of fibers under test;
and
storing the test results in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium.
