Guides

Build a production-ready operator interface for hardware tests using Python, OpenHTF, and TofuPilot. No frontend code required.

Record firmware versions as metadata in OpenHTF tests so TofuPilot lets you filter runs, trace failures, and prove compliance by software build.

Learn how to organize an OpenHTF test script for production use, including phase ordering, plug management, configuration, and multi-SKU support with TofuPilot.

Kiosk mode locks a test station to the operator UI. Learn how to configure Chrome kiosk mode, auto-start, and barcode scanner integration.

A practical migration guide from LabVIEW TestExec to Python-based test automation with OpenHTF and TofuPilot, covering architecture mapping and code examples.

Learn how to version control hardware test scripts with Git and link test results to code versions in TofuPilot.

Actionable strategies to improve first pass yield (FPY) in electronics manufacturing, with root cause analysis, Pareto charts, limit refinement, and TofuPilot.

A structured comparison of OpenHTF and pytest for manufacturing test automation, with code examples, tradeoffs, and guidance on when to use each framework.

Learn how to use control charts to monitor test process stability, distinguish control limits from spec limits, and detect out-of-control conditions with.

Learn how to structure, store, and query electronics test data with TofuPilot for automatic traceability, yield tracking, and process control.

Automated test equipment (ATE) runs production tests without manual intervention. Learn what ATE involves, how to build Python-based systems, and track results.

Learn how to capture, store, and analyze time-series measurement data from hardware tests using TofuPilot's multi-dimensional arrays.
