1. A computing system implemented method comprising:
storing known asset data associated with one or more assets in a known asset database accessible by a field asset management application;
providing a field technician with access to the field asset management application on a mobile device;
collecting, by the field technician, a current asset sample, wherein the current asset sample is collected from a current asset;
processing the current asset sample during collection of the current asset sample by the field technician, wherein processing the current asset sample includes:
utilizing the field asset management application to obtain, from the field technician, current asset sample identification data identifying the current asset sample collected by the field technician from the current asset;
utilizing the field asset management application to obtain, from the field technician, current asset identification data identifying the current asset from which the current asset sample was collected;
utilizing the field asset management application to obtain known asset data from the known asset database wherein the known asset data includes data associated with the current asset identified by the current asset identification data;
correlating the current asset sample identification data with the known asset data associated with the current asset;
utilizing the field asset management application to obtain test request data, the test request data representing requests for one or more tests to be run on the current asset sample; and
correlating the current asset sample identification data and the known asset data associated with the current asset with the test request data;
providing the current asset sample to a testing service provider for processing;
performing, by the testing service provider, the one or more tests on the current asset sample; and
providing test results data representing the results of the one or more tests run on the current asset sample.
