TestBot is an agent-based test automation platform built for engineering teams validating hardware-connected products, including automotive ECUs, industrial controllers, and IoT devices. Unlike general-purpose web or mobile test automation tools, TestBot is purpose-built for the communication protocols and physical hardware layers found in embedded systems.
We built TestBot because embedded and hardware teams have been stuck choosing between two bad options: expensive enterprise HIL rigs that take months to set up, or manual testing that doesn't scale as devices get more complex.
TestBot is an agent-based test automation platform for embedded, IoT, and automotive systems. Instead of one rigid tool trying to do everything, TestBot uses dedicated agents for each protocol ā CAN, CAN FD, LIN, UDS, DoIP, J1939, SOME/IP, XCP, Modbus, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, BACnet, BLE, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi ā plus physical test jigs (CAN-to-USB adapter, I/O module, decade resistance box, SCARA robot arm, AI vision camera) that let you validate the actual hardware layer, not just simulate it.
A few things we're especially proud of:
š§ Write tests graphically (no code), or in Python/Java ā whichever fits your team
š Runs 4,000+ CAN test cases in a single overnight regression run for automotive ECU validation
āļø Plugs into CI/CD so protocol and firmware regressions get caught automatically, not discovered in the field
š¤ The same platform also handles web, mobile, and Windows desktop UI testing ā so hardware and software validation don't have to live in separate tools
We'd love your feedback ā especially from anyone who's fought with manual bench testing or felt priced out of traditional HIL setups. What's the most painful part of testing hardware-connected products for you right now? š
