A method and system for testing a wireless data packet transceiver as a device under test (DUT) adapted to operate in conformance with a wireless signal standard such that a transmitted signal, when received by an intended receiver, is to result in a responsive signal transmission acknowledging such signal reception. During testing, responsive signal transmissions, e.g., acknowledgement signals, are withheld by the test system until after a predetermined number of data packets have been captured from the DUT, until a predetermined time interval has passed, or until data packets at a predetermined number of data rates have been captured from the DUT.
