Shipped 13
Unit metadata
Attach custom key-value metadata to units beyond built-in fields (serial, part, revision, batch), queryable and exportable across runs.
Run metadata
Attach custom key-value metadata to runs beyond built-in fields, for traceability, filtering, and export across procedures and stations.
Golden & Black Samples
Mark units as golden or black samples for calibration, validation, and SPC reference tracking across your test stations.
Phase Pareto
Rank phases by failures, retries, and wall-clock duration to find the weakest step, then drill into the measurements behind each failure.
Monorepo procedures
Keep many procedures in one repository: point each one at its package directory, share code through uv workspaces and deploy them separately.
Operator role
A dedicated operator role for line technicians: run tests and see their results without access to settings, and every run is attributed to them.
Failure analysis
Find why units fail: a pareto of failing phases, drill-down to the runs behind each bar, and side-by-side comparison of phases across runs.
Stop on failure
Stop a run as soon as a phase fails with on_first_failure, or end it from the operator UI with the Stop button, which runs teardown before exiting.

June 2026
Shipped 8
MCP Server
Official MCP server for TofuPilot. Lets AI assistants like Claude query test data, manage runs, units, and stations through the Model Context Protocol.
Signed macOS builds
The TofuPilot CLI for macOS is signed and notarized with an Apple Developer ID, so it installs and runs on station Macs without security warnings.
Phase & Measurement API
Dedicated API v2 endpoints to create, read, and manage phases and measurements independently from runs. Enables advanced integrations and bulk data operations.
Launch on boot
Install the station as a system service that starts on boot and restarts on failure, so production benches come back without anyone logging in.
Python 3.13 & 3.14 builds
Pick Python 3.12, 3.13, or 3.14 for your test stations from your pyproject.toml. Use the latest language features with no extra setup needed.
Instant Rollback
Roll back every station to a previous test script build in one click. No rebuild, and auto-push pauses until you push again or resume it.
China network support
Stations in China install and update reliably: the CLI, Python runtime and packages are served from mirrors reachable behind the Great Firewall.
Measurement Control v2
Control charts for all six measurement types, with a Failures tab, filters by environment, deployment, version and duration, and full-dataset histograms.
July 2026
Shipped 3
Alerts
Define rules on metrics like FPY, failure rate, Cpk, or station heartbeat. Route triggered alerts to email, Slack, or webhook channels.
Python debug mode
Attach VS Code or any debugpy client to Python phases on a station, set breakpoints and step through a live test run line by line.
Data export
Export selected phases and measurements to CSV or JSON straight from the dashboard selection bar, ready for Excel, Python or your own reports.
August 2026
Shipped 10
Atlassian sign-in
Sign in to TofuPilot with your Atlassian account, so teams already working in Jira, Confluence and Bitbucket log in with a single click.
Studio v2
Write, run and debug procedures from a web workbench paired with your local station, with an AI assistant, diff review and live run output.
InvenTree Integration
Sync test data with InvenTree inventory. Upload test results to stock items, update statuses, transfer stock, complete builds, and print labels from workflows.
Persistent equipment
Keep an instrument connection warm across runs with a station-level plug scope, so equipment is set up once instead of every run.
Builder mode
Run a single phase or a range of phases on its own while building a procedure, so you iterate on one step without replaying the whole test.
Curve overlay
Overlay multi-dimensional measurements such as sweeps and IV curves across runs in Measurement Control to spot drift in the whole curve shape.
Private CA support
Run stations behind a corporate TLS proxy or private certificate authority: uploads, the realtime link and the OpenHTF client all trust your CA.
Custom metadata
Attach your own key-value fields to stations, parts and revisions, alongside run and unit metadata, to filter and trace with your own vocabulary.
Operator tracking
Record who ran each test, from a logged-in account or a free-text operator name typed at the station, and filter runs by operator.
Bitbucket Integration
Connect Bitbucket repositories to TofuPilot for automated deployments, test script version control, and CI/CD pipeline integration.
September 2026
Shipped 6
Duplicate-safe uploads
Run creation is idempotent: when a station loses the server response on a flaky network and retries, the run is stored once, never duplicated.
Chart image export
Download any analytics chart as an image for reports and reviews, plus keyboard shortcuts and a date filter you can type into directly.
One-line installer
Install the TofuPilot CLI on any station with a single command from tofupilot.app/install, on Linux, macOS and Windows, with no extra setup.
Multi-slot testing
Test several units in parallel on one fixture: per-slot runs grouped by execution, live slot status in the operator UI, and per-slot results in the dashboard.
Input validation
Validate serial numbers and operator inputs at the station before the run starts, with patterns, prefixes, suffixes and clear rejection messages.
OpenHTF Docs v2.0
Revamped OpenHTF documentation with clearer step-by-step guides, real-world examples, and best practices for hardware testing.
October 2026
Shipped 14
Sequences
Write steps and benches once as sequence files, called with uses: and with: inside a procedure, or used around it for bench setup and teardown.
Operator UI 2.0
Redesigned operator screen in kiosk and dashboard: station and procedure cards, scanner-safe forms, Off, Side or Full run details, shared with the run page.
Robust plug lifecycle
Predictable plug setup and teardown: teardown on stop and on crash, a fixed teardown order, timeouts on hung calls, and every lifecycle step logged.
Git submodules
Deploy repositories that use git submodules: shared plugs and phases in their own repository, fetched at build time through the same Git connection.
Headless runs
Start and follow runs from your own program or CI: pass the serial, procedure and options, then read live progress and results as a JSON stream.
Phase parameters
Pass parameters to a phase with with: in procedure.yaml, so one Python phase function is reused at several steps with different values.
Plug parameters
Configure plugs with with: in procedure.yaml and per-station environment variables, so one plug class serves every bench without editing YAML.
Slack Integration
Post to a Slack channel from any workflow through an incoming webhook: test failures, new units, batch events, with run data in the message.
Custom list columns
Choose which columns the Runs and Units lists show, including run and unit metadata keys, with a sticky header that stays visible while scrolling.
Studio v1 sunset
Retire the original Studio desktop app. Procedures, plugs and stations keep working, and editing moves to Studio v2 in the dashboard and to the CLI.
Operator UI v1 sunset
Retire the original operator UI once the technician view ships. Stations move to the new interface automatically, with no change to procedures.
Interactive phase loops
Pause a phase on its operator screen with ui.wait(), apply the answer, show the new reading and ask again, for calibration and adjustment loops.
Kiosk browser lockdown
Station kiosk opens without translate prompts, AI sidebars, image search or autofill bubbles on Edge, Chrome and Firefox, with policy files for a full lockdown.
Procedure API access
Call the TofuPilot API from test procedures as the identity the run uploads with, with no API key to create or store on the station.
November 2026
Planned 16
Parametrized procedures
Define per-channel measurements, swept phases or many slots in one block with matrix:, instead of copy-pasting YAML blocks for each value.
Metrology
Track every instrument by serial with its calibration date and certificate, link each measurement to it, and block runs when a calibration has expired.
Custom Validators
Write pass/fail logic beyond fixed operators, including limits computed from an earlier measurement, such as twice the reference voltage, in the YAML.
Plug restart
Restart a plug whose process crashed or lost its instrument, then let the phase retry, so a dropped connection does not fail the unit under test.
Measurement signals
Name product signals in the procedure and wire them to instruments in the bench sequence, so a sequence never changes when the bench or an instrument does.
Git LFS
Deploy procedures that store vendor DLLs, firmware images and other large binaries with Git LFS: stations receive the real files at every commit.
Bring your own build
Check and build a procedure on your machine or in your CI, with your private packages, then deploy the artifact. TofuPilot keeps versions and rollback.
Gage R&R
Measurement system analysis with Gage R&R studies to quantify repeatability and reproducibility of your test stations and instruments.
Admin mode
Admins work with standard rights by default and switch to admin mode with MFA for sensitive changes. Admin mode ends after 15 minutes.
Account suspension
Suspend a member, API key or station in one action: sessions end and keys stop at once, and reactivation restores access exactly as before.
MFA for every member
Require MFA for every member: SSO members through the identity provider, others with an authenticator app or passkey and backup codes.
Admin audit log
Record every admin and sign-in event, keep it 18 months with tamper evidence, export it as JSON and stream it to your SIEM over syslog or webhook.
Dynamic measurements
Declare measurements at record time inside a phase, not only up front in YAML, so tests can adapt their checks to live conditions.
Run integrity check
Stations verify every deployed file against its build hash before each run and refuse to start if anything was modified on the machine.
Marginal limits
Mark a limit as non-decisive in procedure.yaml: values outside it stay passing but are flagged marginal in the operator UI and dashboard.
Run header
A fixed header on the operator screen shows serial number, part, operator and chosen run metadata, the same on every phase and procedure.
December 2026
Planned 10
Diagnostics
Guide operators when a step fails: per-phase hints and images, decision trees and guided checks, so they find the cause before retesting or escalating.
Variants
Declare per-revision and per-part limits and skipped phases in procedure.yaml, so one procedure covers every board revision without Python logic.
Unit flow
Define the path a unit follows across stations: each test checks that earlier steps passed, chains the next one, and gives one verdict per unit.
Station sign-in
Operators sign in on the station with SSO from their phone or with a badge before a run, so every run and step is recorded under a person.
Vision SDK
Python SDK for visual inspection in Framework procedures: capture camera images, detect defects with AI and record each check as a measurement.
SBOM and signed images
Publish a CycloneDX SBOM and a signed container image with every release, so self-hosted customers can verify what they install.
Sequential by default
Phases run one after another in file order unless you ask for parallel execution, so a procedure reads top to bottom like the test spec.
Technician mode
A role-restricted station view to call plug methods and jog axes by hand, with runs kept out of production data and yield.
Neutral phases
Phases that record no measurement, like a barcode scan or a door check, show a neutral status instead of PASS on the operator screen.
ARMv7 & 32-bit stations
Run stations on ARMv7 boards like 32-bit Raspberry Pi OS and on 32-bit Windows (x86), with the same CLI, operator UI and automatic updates.
January 2027
Planned 3
Identify
Scan a label once: every field is parsed, the right procedure is picked from the part number, options load at runtime and the unit history shows up.
USB deployment transfer
Deploy procedures and collect run data on fully air-gapped stations by transferring them on a USB key, with no network link to the dashboard.
Azure DevOps integration
Connect Azure DevOps repositories, Services or Server, so procedures deploy from your Azure Repos on every push, like GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket.
