We have developed open source hardware to make the job of setting up and running automated testing against embedded devices as quick and simple as possible.

We invariably need a number of connections to hardware devices for both development and automated testing which ends up with a birds nest of wires, dongles and peripherals, we put our minds to putting all of these together in one box containing a SBC, an open source USB switch, CAN interface and an open source I/O board which includes a USB hub, serial connection, GPIO switches, optocouplers and HID emulation.

This talk is about the concept, design and implementation of the Testing in a Box project along with some of the use cases that we're already using it for.
