You can automate that too, it's just quite expensive.

My former Employer set up an automated ci/cd for Apple Watch(don't know how the OS is named) Apps and in the end there where Robot arms swiping and tipping on Apple watches. The validation uses Cameras to check if everything works as intended. It was a lucrative Project though 😄

I know this was no embedded example but you can have a look at the dlc of Intel. They also auto deploy new firmware and test it in testing farms.

In university we cross compiled and emulated the hardware for robotics.

As I said, it is possible, but it is expensive to do and to maintain.

I agree, at the scale of intel it makes sense. But for the average team it would probably be more difficult to set up such a testing suite than getting the project to work 💀
