Procedures

A procedure is a YAML file that defines your complete test sequence: what to test, how to test it, and what measurements to collect.

File

You can use any name for your procedure file as long as it ends in .yaml or .yml.

The file name doesn't affect functionality.

Name

You must set a name for your test procedure.

name: Battery Functional Test

TofuPilot uses this name to identify the procedure in test reports and during execution. The dashboard procedure name is separate, since linking binds by id.

Version

You must set a version for your procedure. Semantic versioning (1.0.0) is recommended.

name: Battery Functional Test
version: 1.0.0

TofuPilot records this version with each test result for traceability.

The version is a label you bump yourself, unlike a deployment, which is built automatically from every commit. Several deployments can carry the same version.

Description

You can add an optional description to document what your procedure tests.

name: Battery Functional Test
version: 1.0.0
description: Validates battery voltage, capacity, and charge cycles

TofuPilot displays this description in test reports and the procedure overview.
