AFT is a tool for automated provisioning and testing. Its goal is to both standardize and simplify the testing on a variety of devices, while keeping minimal the cost and the complexity of the setup. In particular, it strives to use only inexpensive off-the shelf HW components and to keep one single configuration that can be used by both large testing farms and individual testers/developers.

This software is forked from the original work of Igor Stoppa, published at https://github.com/01org-AutomatedFlasherTester

At very high level, the tool receives as input the device type, a name of a file containing the SW image to be tested and a test plan.

The tester will attempt to reserve a compatible device and, once the device becomes available, flashes the image.

If the image deploys successfully and can also boot the device, the system will run the requested test plan.
