introducing bootloop test
One framework, from bring-up to end-of-line, used across engineering, QA,
and manufacturing.
why testing is critical
Better Hardware Testing Means:
Fewer Fielded Defects, Higher Customer Satisfaction, and Faster Developer Velocity
BootLoop Test gives hardware teams the test coverage and development velocity they've always wanted, without the setup and maintenance cost that's made it impractical.
Easy setup
Easy Customization
Easy to add coverage
Easy to share
solutions overview
BootLoop Test is your complete hardware-in-the-loop testing platform.
Enterprise-grade, but accessible to teams of five.
One framework from R&D to manufacturing
Tests created during hardware bring-up become end-of-line tests in production. Tests are shared across firmware, QA, and manufacturing teams.
AI authoring, Deterministic execution
AI generates test suites and components based on your codebase and hardware - enabling anyone to quickly add more test coverage.
Run benches anywhere
in the world
Quickly enroll any Linux computer as a test bench. Connect equipment via a no-code visual interface. Tests are portable - write once, run on any capable bench
confidence in CI and EOL
Use it for CI, validating new board revisions, end-of-line testing and gathering evidence for certification. Web-accessible results with full version control - visible to the whole company.

BootLOOP TEST in Action
How BootLoop Test Works
BootLoop Test is easy enough to use that anyone in the company can setup benches or create tests to increase the velocity and reliability of your hardware development.
team benefits
A Platform for Every Team
Every team can use and improve the company’s coverage and resilience. Easily organize and validate engineering, business, and certification requirements and quickly track progress, regressions, and timelines.
Firmware Engineers
Quickly add new coverage as bugs are solved, features are added, or hardware changes to always stay ahead. Build all day, test all night
Hardware And electrical engineers
Bring-up and validate board designs without waiting on other teams. Automatically pull in the latest production firmware for testing.
QA and Testing
Every test also contains binaries so you can setup and provision boards without needing complex toolchains. Work with the agent to quickly add new tests and components - older tests will just work.
Manufacturing and build engineering
Run end-of-line testing without needing to build new tests - from anywhere in the world. Quickly see KPIs like yield, runtime, and pass rate across any bench. Rapidly detect errors with testing that’s never stale.
Critical checklist
Testing isn’t a reliability tax. It’s a velocity unlock.
Without Hardware-in-the-Loop
Manual checks at the bench
Bugs discovered by customers (100× more expensive)
With Bootloop Test
Every change validated automatically
Hardware defects caught at CI, not in the field
One framework from firmware bring-up to end-of-line
bootloop test FAQs
Your Questions, Answered
What is BootLoop Test?
BootLoop Test is a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing platform for firmware and embedded teams. You set up a physical test bench, author tests in Python, and run them against real hardware, either interactively from your desk or automatically in CI. The same code-defined test you run at your desk is the one that runs on every change, so you write your validation logic once and use it everywhere.
What is a “bench” in BootLoop?
A bench is your physical test setup: one or more devices under test (DUTs) plus the equipment wired to them, such as power supplies, oscilloscopes, debug probes, and serial adapters. You model the bench visually in the Hub, our web interface, mapping which equipment connects to which pins and interfaces so your tests know the layout of your hardware.
What happens if a piece of hardware is unplugged or missing?
BootLoop is built to fail loudly, not silently. Each hardware driver reports whether its device is present when a run starts. If a device is absent, its tests are skipped rather than reported as passing, and the Hub keeps working so you can still view, edit, and manage your benches and tests. You never get a green check from hardware that was not actually there.
What hardware and equipment does BootLoop support?
BootLoop Test ships with drivers for common bench equipment from Keysight, Saleae, Agilent, BK Precision, Joulescope, Rigol and more! We also support common UART, CAN, SPI, I2C protocol analyzers and hardware debuggers. Each driver is configured through typed settings with sensible defaults. If you use equipment we do not already support, you can quickly add custom automatically-validated equipment drivers for your organization.
Can tests be shared across teams?
Yes. Because test cases are plain Python functions, the same validation logic can be reused across firmware development, hardware development, and production checks. A test an engineer writes while developing firmware can become a production validation step without being rewritten.

The best hardware companies already invest heavily in HIL. The payoff isn't safety alone - it's how fast their engineering teams can move.
