You can download the compiled binaries from the releases. Downloads are available for Windows, macOS and Linux.
The application, called sut (which is short for serial unit testing), is structured in the following sub commands:
list: List all available serial portssend: Send data to a serial portcheck: Send data to a serial port and check for correct responsemonitor: Interactive serial communication monitorrun: Run a script on a serial portverify: Verify a script can be parsed without failurehelp: Print information about the application or a sub commandversion: Print version information
The run and verify commands are used to work with the test script language to automate testing easily. For a complete syntax of the language see script.
