Described herein are examples of distributed material testing systems that collect data from a plurality of material testing systems. In some examples, a central management server is used to collect the data and identify status information, statistical metrics, and/or historical events pertaining to selected material testing systems based on the collected data. In some examples, because the central management server is used, the status information, statistical metrics, and/or historical events can be accessed through any interface in communication with the central management server.

Described herein are examples of distributed material testing systems that allow users with higher level and/or administrative permissions to revert to use of an older (and/or obsolete) version of a test file (and/or other file) as the "active" file version for testing. In some examples, users with lower level permissions are restricted to using the "active" version of a test file for testing, so as to ensure that most users and/or material testing systems use the same test file version. However, some users are authorized to make an older, obsolete, test file version the "active" test file version in case, for example, there is some issue with the current active test file version. Through this reversion, testing may be able to continue in at least some capacity while a new test file is prepared and/or the issues with the prior active test file are resolved.
