Reliable embedded test environment

Don't call it a drawer

It's an integrated testing environment, a protective shell for your test setup, stackable or rack mountable.

Testladen is an integrated environment for your test setup: monitored, controlled and protected, in one compact enclosure. Unbox it, connect your device and test equipment, and work in conditions you actually control, without spending months building your own rig. Built from our day-to-day practice in embedded testing.

Building your own test bench costs months

Most embedded teams end up building test infrastructure from scratch, and it quietly eats a quarter or more before a single board is validated.

The DIY test-bench tax

  • Weeks of engineering time wiring fixtures, PSUs and instruments instead of shipping product.
  • One-off rigs that only one person understands and nobody can reproduce.
  • Ongoing maintenance every time an interface, cable or firmware version changes.
  • No traceability: results live in spreadsheets and screenshots, not signed-off protocols.

One box, ready to test

Testladen packages the rig we'd build for you into a single, documented device: monitored, controlled and protected, ready to run HIL, end-of-line and functional tests.


How it works

1 · Unbox

Arrives pre-configured with the test environment installed

2 · Connect

Wire your device to the adapter set for your interfaces

3 · Test

Run your tests in a monitored, controlled environment

Four environments in one box

Monitored

Know what's happening inside, in real time.

  • Temperature sensor
  • Smoke sensor
  • Open sensor
  • UART forwarding

Controlled

Set the conditions, don't fight them.

  • Switched power for DUT and test equipment
  • Fan: auto mode, or manual 0 to 100%
  • Interior light on open
  • Relays for everything else

Protected

Protects the device from the world, and the world from the device.

  • ESD-safe materials
  • Fire-resistant construction
  • Noise reduction
  • Fully enclosed
  • Power-off-on-open mode

Stable

See what we're doing to keep this promise.

100% branch coverage of all code running on the device. Fuzz testing. Open, available QA processes.

Who it's for

R&D & prototyping

Validate new boards against a repeatable HIL setup instead of a tangle of bench instruments.

Production & EoL

Drop functional and end-of-line checks straight into your assembly line with pass/fail protocols.

QA & regression

Re-run the same signed-off test suite on every firmware revision and every batch.

Why Testladen

Ready to use

Less setup, more test coverage

Instead of investing months into custom test benches, you start testing right away. The system is pre-configured, documented and extendable to your requirements.

Pre-order now

Reserve a unit from the first production run. Three tiers (Developer, Team and Enterprise) with limited early-bird pricing on the first batch. See the full timeline, prices, product readiness, our refund policy and an honest risk disclosure on the pre-order page.

Frequently asked questions

Why should I pre-order now instead of waiting?
Pre-orders fund the first production run and reserve you a slot in it. The early-bird price is the lowest Testladen will ever be. It ends on the first milestone in the timeline above, after which pricing moves to the standard tier. Reserving now also gives you priority for onboarding and adapter configuration.
How much does Testladen cost?
The prices in the tiers above are placeholders while we finalise the first run. Pre-ordering during the early-bird window secures the lowest price and locks it in even if the final list price is higher. There are no hidden fees: the tier price is the one-time device price (excl. VAT); shipping is quoted separately based on your location.
When will my unit ship?
Shipping starts at the final milestone on the timeline above (currently planned for Q3 2027). The bar updates automatically to show today's date and the days remaining until each step. If the schedule changes, we'll email every pre-order customer well in advance.
What exactly is included?
Every unit ships with the Testladen base device and its pre-installed test environment, a standard adapter set for common embedded interfaces, full documentation with example test cases, and 12 months of updates and support. Higher tiers add extended adapters, priority support and a longer update window.
Can I cancel my pre-order?
Yes. A pre-order reserves your production slot and can be cancelled for a full refund any time before your unit enters production. Payment is handled securely through Shoprocket.
My setup needs a custom interface. Can Testladen handle it?
Very likely. Testladen is built to be extended, and the Enterprise tier covers custom interfaces, fixtures and on-site onboarding. Talk to us about your test setup and we'll confirm the fit before you order.

Reserve your slot in the first run

Early-bird pricing is the lowest Testladen will ever be, and the first run is limited. Secure your unit now.
