What an empty article. Testing an OTA update can survive a power interruption during the downloading is such a basic test. It doesn't need an article that long. I guess AI wrote it from a few sentence prompt?

They didn't do any interesting tests. What about brownouts, voltage ripples, timing the reset signal to see if there's any critical moments in the update process, corrupted update files, high EMC environment etc etc. That would be interesting.

I think the article is an advert for a testing platform that enables automating this sort of test. But weirdly they don't show how their platform does the automating, so it just looks like they're really pleased with themselves for doing really basic engineering.
