        .. Warning::
            Nanaimo is evolving rapidly right now. It is undergoing a change to focus on pytest
            integration and to introduce its own plugin architecture to allow test apparatuses
            and instruments to be easily contributed.

        Nanaimo is a set of utilities and plugins designed to enable real hardware test apparatuses
        to be integrated with unit test frameworks like pytest. This can allow on-target tests to
        run as part of continuous integration pipelines like `Buildkite`_, `Bamboo`_, or `Jenkins`_.

        Nanaimo is designed to enable testing of software-defined, physical components in isolation to
        provide pre-integration verification of software interfaces and behavioral contracts. It adapts
        asynchronous control and monitoring of these components to fit familiar testing idioms
        (e.g. x-unit testing) using the popular python test framework, `pytest`_.

        Nanaimo is *not* a simulation framework and is not designed to support the complexity of a full a hardware-in-the-loop
        platform. Instead it's focused on testing small integrations with one or two hardware components and instruments.
        Examples of this might include verifying a SPI driver for a microcontroller or ensuring a serial bootloader's
        upload performance meets expected KPIs. To do this Nanaimo abstractions of instruments provide async interfaces
        to hardware either directly using communication busses like serial or ethernet or by invoking a CLI provided by the
        instrument vendor. Because of this, some instruments will require additional programs be installed on a system to
        work.

        This design is an amalgam of the `TLYF`_ (Test Like You Fly) methodology and the `Swiss cheese`_ model of
        failure analysis. Specifically; the goal is to encourage testing on actual or representative hardware
        early in the testing process of a system to make the cheese loaf less hole-y.
        
        .. Note::
            Nanaimo is named after `Nanaimo bars`_ which are about the best things humans have ever invented.
