Speedtest's cli client is suitable for my use since I can launch it using a bash script. After installation, a quick run of speedtest on the Pi's terminal seems to do the job. The instructions on their website are sufficient to have the cli tool up and running on the Pi. SSHing into the Pi, I run an update on the OS and installed some tools. A quick search on the official website, I find a short article on enabling wireless access here. Having to plugin the Pi to the router for configuration and internet access is tedious and obviously limiting on the location you can place it. My Pi version runs an mDNS, and thus with just a ping to raspberrypi.local, voila! Address resolved! To find out its address, I used this quick help. Next, we need a way to 'get into the Pi'. With this in place, I boot the Pi and plugin an ethernet cable from my home router. I followed this awesome, quick help on the official website.
