We don't really have anything else for PCs than Master Control Panel for manual testing and the C# API for automatic test development.

I see I forgot the Master Control Panel that's available on Android however, but again, that's just usable for manual testing.

I has already download Master Control Panel and I can see our service/characteristic. But as you mentioned that I have to use C# to write our testing tool,there any other way to do testing with current APP or tool? Because we do not have manpower to do C# tool.

Thank you.

As Peter says in the comment, using LightBlue from either a Mac or an iOS device may be an option.

If you're on Windows, I'd also recommend you to check out the Master Control Panel, which is useful to test out Peripherals. Master Control Panel also includes the Master Emulator API, that you can use to write custom C# applications that can interface with a BLE Peripheral for testing and development.

Master Control Panel can be downloaded from our main site, on the download tab of your kit.

If you're using a Mac, I've been very pleased with LightBlue as a testing tool. It displays the services and characteristics from my nRF8002, and detects Bluetooth 4.0 BLE devices immediately. https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/lightblue/id639944780?mt=12
