Automated Testing Summit 2025

Does your organization build embedded operating systems for hardware devices? Do you still test builds on hardware manually? Jumpstarter, an open-source project started by Red Hat, connects your software factory to your hardware, modernizing embedded software development. Developed in collaboration with a leading automotive manufacturer, Jumpstarter bridges the gap between embedded hardware and testing CI/CD workflows, no matter the use case. In this session, we deep-dive into automated software testing on edge devices using standardized CI/CD pipelines like Tekton or GitLab. We use your Device Under Test for tasks like flashing, booting, accessing serial, audio, and video, stress testing, recovery operations, and even over-the-air updates. Let Jumpstarter handle the hard problem of interfacing with your hardware while you focus on writing better tests for your use case. The presentation will include a live demo and will share deployment instructions, workflow examples, and real-world use cases from RedHat scaling automated testing and improving standards for open source quality assurance.
