The master thesis presents a system for performing Smoke tests. System was developed as a solution to the shortcomings of the currently used systems. Current systems are complex to use, poorly portable and need constant adaptation to be used on different equipment under test. As a solution, we have developed a self-contained system that enables powering, excitation and measurement of current consumption of equipment under test, while also being compact and easy to use. The developed system consists of hardware and software. The hardware includes a power supply part that takes care of powering the entire system and equipment under test, a communication part that implements communication protocols used in the automotive industry, and a measurement part that enables measuring the current consumption of the equipment under test. To be able to use the hardware, we implemented software drivers that allow user easy and quick access to communication channels and measuring circuit. In addition to the drivers, the application part and the graphical user interface for testing specific equipment was demonstrated. At the end, we also performed the test and analyzed the obtained measurements.
