Abstract
A method for functional testing of aerosol provision devices may include performing a functional state transition test of a power unit. The functional state transition test of the power unit may include extracting a unique identifier from the power unit of an aerosol provision device responsive to operable coupling of the power unit to a test fixture, determining a transition code based on the unique identifier, providing the transition code to the power unit via the test fixture to transition the power unit from an initial state to a transitioned state, and transitioning the power unit to the initial state.
