Automation Beyond Testing and Embedded System Validation

Explore automation beyond traditional testing in embedded systems through this insightful conference talk. Delve into the limitations of current open-source testing projects like LAVA and discover how separating the automation layer from testing infrastructure can enhance flexibility for various scenarios. Learn about the potential of combining automation with software testing frameworks like pytest for more expressive test cases. Gain valuable insights from Jan Luebbe's experience with existing tools and his work on the labgrid automation library. Understand the challenges and opportunities in expanding automation capabilities for embedded system validation, ad-hoc scripting, factory flashing, git bisection, development scripts, and CI processes for system updates.
