A test system comprises a test processor which determines an operational status, such as a fault status, for a unit under test. The unit under test may e.g. comprise one or more boards of an electronic assembly. A presence processor generates a presence message in response to the operational status where the presence message is in accordance with a user presence message protocol. A communication controller then transmits the presence message to a remote network element of a communication network. The remote network element may be a presence server which can transmit a presence status update to associated devices. The invention may allow efficient and remote status monitoring for a test system using user presence infrastructure.
