Firmwaredesk: Test Matrix
Firmware QA Notes
$3.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A result is only current while artifact hash, board revision, case revision, and bench state still match — edit any one of them and watch the matrix flip to Stale.
Firmwaredesk keeps a release-evidence matrix in which a test result only counts as current while the firmware artifact, the exact board unit, the case revision, and the recorded bench state all still match.
Plan: import a firmware file to fingerprint it — SHA-256 is computed on the device, Intel HEX records are checksum-verified, UF2 blocks and family IDs are read — then describe your board units and write the test cases yourself. Boards carry a lineage: revising one keeps its history while separating old evidence from new hardware.
Execute: at the bench, pick the board under test, mark each case Pass, Fail, Blocked, or Not run, and append the session. Editing a case bumps its revision and the plan revision; changing the fixture, power, or ambient state bumps the precondition revision. Each edit immediately flips the affected matrix cells to Stale or Missing, so the counts always tell you what must be re-run.
Evidence: sessions are append-only snapshots. Rerun compare diffs the two latest sessions case by case and labels which board each was recorded on, and deterministic JSON and CSV exports carry digests, revisions, outcomes, and staleness reasons for review.
Firmwaredesk records observations you make yourself — it does not flash, control, or talk to hardware — and everything it stores stays on your device, with no account, no network use, no ads, and no analytics.
