Checkbox is a flexible test automation software. It’s the main tool used in Ubuntu Certification program.
You can use checkbox without any modification to check if your system is behaving correctly or you can develop your own set of tests to check your needs. See Checkbox tutorials for details.
Checkbox optionally generates test reports in different formats (JSON, HTML, etc.) that can be used to easily share the results of a test session.

Installation¶
Checkbox can be installed from a PPA.
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hardware-certification/public
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install canonical-certification-client
The canonical-certification-client package will pull a lot of
desktop-related packages. If you intend to run tests on a server, run these
commands instead:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hardware-certification/public
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install canonical-certification-server
