How are the mutations identified when testing? Wouldn’t the mechanisms need to change every time a new variant popped up?

So if I drive through one of the mobile testing sites, sequencing and editing occurs all within minutes whilst I’m waiting in my car? Wouldn’t it behoove the individuals by specifying the variant they tested positive for? How does the (what sounds like splicing) categorization occur with the home testing kits - the testing kits that clearly state it cannot and does not differentiate between SARS-COV-1 and COV-2?
As far as predictions go, the “science” apparently isn’t that advanced. It’s as if I were to propose the following, because I can count to 100, I can predict the winning power ball numbers.
By the way thank you for the response.
