TestBot - An Automated TestBench

Testing is the most critical phase before the deployment of any product, as it ensures the quality of the offering. Improper (or) sloppy testing will cause product recalls and adversely affect the brand value of the vendor. Testing an embedded device is indeed a challenging task, as it depends upon high-level hardware & software. It also requires a lot of effort and thought process. Apart from this, external components such as mobile apps, cloud connections, electro-mechanical interfaces etc. also increase the level of complexity in testing. At present, automatic test jigs have become popular, as they are capable of validating the DUT at a faster rate than that of the manual process. Embien’s TestBot is one such advanced automated test jig which not only helps qualify the device, but also supports the testing of external components. Its modular design makes it customizable for testing the hardware/software features of a variety of embedded products. Though TestBot is well suited for production stage testing, it can also be used during product development to identify issues earlier & enhance quality.
