About jumpstarter

Jumpstarter Jumpstarter is a free and open source test automation framework. It bridges the gap between embedded development workflows and deployment environments, enabling consistent automated testing across real hardware and virtual environments with CI/CD integration. Every interface is programmatic, so human developers, test scripts, CI pipelines, and AI agents interact with devices through the same APIs. Highlights 🧪 Unified Testing - One tool for physical and virtual devices under test 🔌 Hardware Abstraction - Control UART, CAN, SPI, GPIO, power, and USB through drivers 🐍 Python-Powered - Integrate with PyTest and Python's testing ecosystem 🌐 Collaborative - Share and securely lease test hardware across teams ⚙️ Automation Ready - Same APIs for humans, test scripts, CI

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
