TestBot

Overview TestBot, is an embedded, IoT, and automotive test automation company offering both a self-serve software platform and expert-led testing services. Teams can use TestBot's agent-based automation platform on their own, engage TestBot's services team for hands-on execution, or combine both depending on their in-house capacity and expertise. This dual model addresses a common gap in the embedded testing space: many teams either lack the specialized protocol and hardware expertise to build automation in-house, or want a proven platform without committing to a full internal tooling investment. The Product: TestBot Platform At its core, TestBot uses an agent-based architecture. Dedicated agents handle specific communication protocols and interfaces, allowing teams to automate exactly the protocols relevant to their devices rather than adopting an all-or-nothing tool. Supported protocols include CAN, CAN FD, LIN, UDS, DoIP, J1939, SOME/IP, XCP, Modbus, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, BACnet, BLE, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. Protocol agents work alongside physical test jigs, including a CAN-to-USB adapter, an I/O module, a decade resistance box, a SCARA robot arm, and an AI vision camera module. This combination lets a single platform drive both the communication-protocol layer and the physical or mechanical layer of a device under test, enabling hardware-in-the-loop style validation without the cost and lead time typically associated with traditional enterprise HIL rigs from vendors such as National Instruments or dSPACE. Test cases can be authored three ways: graphically with no code, in Python, or in Java, giving both QA engineers and firmware developers a way to contribute test coverage. Tests are organized in a Test Set to Test Item to Test Method to Test Data structure, supporting everything from quick smoke tests to long-duration regression suites. In one documented case, TestBot executed more than 4,000 CAN test cases in a single overnight regression run for automotive ECU validation. The platform integrates into CI/CD pipelines, enabling continuous automated testing rather than periodic manual test cycles, and produces structured reporting to support debugging and traceability. Beyond embedded and protocol testing, TestBot also supports web application, mobile application, and Windows desktop UI test automation, allowing teams to validate both a device and its companion software from a single platform. Pricing follows a per-seat subscription model. Subscription plans include a defined number of seats and core platform features; protocol agents are licensed as add-ons so teams pay only for the protocols they use; and physical test jigs are one-time hardware purchases that do not carry a recurring fee. The Services: TestBot Testing Services For teams that want expert execution alongside or instead of self-managed automation, TestBot offers a full range of testing services: Embedded testing services — protocol-level and firmware validation for embedded devices Hi-tech testing services — testing tailored to hardware-connected and emerging technology products AI/ML testing services — validation for AI-driven and machine learning-enabled products IoT testing services — connectivity, protocol, and device-level testing for IoT products Pre-certification compliance testing — validation to help products meet industry compliance requirements ahead of formal certification Cloud/API testing services — validation of cloud-connected backends and API layers Mobile app testing services — functional and compatibility testing for mobile applications Software testing services — general QA across web and desktop software Security testing services — vulnerability and security-focused testing for connected products Manual testing services — human-led testing where automation isn't yet practical or appropriate Automation testing services — building and running automated test suites on the client's behalf Regression testing services — repeated validation across firmware and software releases Load and performance testing services — testing system behavior under load and stress conditions These services are backed by the same protocol and hardware expertise embedded in the TestBot platform, meaning the services team can bring proven tooling and reusable test assets into a client engagement rather than building test infrastructure from scratch each time. Industries Served Automotive — ECU diagnostics, instrument cluster validation, and EV Ethernet ECU testing through DoIP; automated ECU regression testing running thousands of test cases per cycle Industrial automation — PLC and protocol-level testing across Modbus, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and EtherNet/IP; reliability testing in harsh industrial environments Medical devices — compliance-oriented functional and regression validation aligned with healthcare device requirements Defense and aerospace — embedded system validation for mission-critical devices Consumer electronics and IoT — OTA update validation, Wi-Fi provisioning, BLE connectivity testing, and end-to-end IoT gateway and ecosystem testing Use Cases Across the Product Lifecycle TestBot supports testing needs from early development through production, including prototype testing for concept verification, functional and regression testing during development, stress testing to evaluate device limits, firmware regression testing to catch version drift before release, and end-of-line testing to ensure consistency during mass manufacturing. Differentiators Agent-based architecture that lets teams activate only the protocols and hardware interfaces relevant to their devices, rather than paying for a monolithic platform Combined software and hardware validation through protocol agents and physical test jigs in one platform, rather than separate tools for protocol testing and physical hardware testing Flexible test authoring across no-code, Python, and Java, supporting both QA-led and developer-led testing workflows CI/CD-native design that treats testing as a continuous part of the development pipeline rather than a separate, periodic activity Dual delivery model offering both a self-serve platform and expert-led services, so teams aren't forced to choose between buying a tool and hiring specialized talent Cost-conscious hardware-in-the-loop approach aimed at teams that need HIL-style validation without the budget of a traditional enterprise rig Who TestBot Is For TestBot is built for embedded software engineers, QA and test engineers, and firmware or hardware validation teams working on connected devices, whether they need a platform to run in-house, a services partner to execute testing on their behalf, or both. It is particularly suited to small and mid-sized engineering teams that need reliable, repeatable, and scalable test automation for hardware-connected products without the cost and complexity of traditional enterprise test infrastructure, as well as larger organizations looking to supplement in-house capacity with specialized embedded testing expertise.
