Challenges of building a test infrastructure around a cross-platform Desktop
summary
Starts from manual regression testing and grows into a multilanguage automation stack: Python for basic scripts, JavaScript + Selenium for complex UI flows, and Robot Framework as the human‑readable orchestration layer. A custom test framework ties an SQA lab of hundreds of Silicon Labs boards, VMs and cloud clients; moving clients to the cloud speeds parallelism but forces adding low‑latency lab servers. Plans include multi‑OS VM parks, dynamic test allocation, and splitting installation and report generation to cut runtime.
