hi,

range test meant testing how far the xbee modules are able to send and receive? the range for both Xbee and Xbee pro are stated in the user manual.
probably u will like to know the signal strength, RSSI(RX Signal Strength Indicator) of each data receive by the Xbee module. there are 2 ways of knowing RSSI of the data received. the 1st method is setting the pin #6 on xbee radio to be RSSI, using the P0 AT command (PWM0 Configuration).
2nd method will be using API modes. in API modes, every received packets will contain a byte showing the RSSI of the data.

hope this information will be able to help u further your works.
refer to the usermanual of the Xbee radio for more information.

regards

yh
