# Brew Test Bot
`brew test-bot` is the name for the automated review and testing system funded by [our Kickstarter in 2013](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/homebrew/brew-test-bot).
It comprises three Mac Pros hosting virtual machines, several M1 Mac minis and some cloud Ubuntu instances that run the [`test-bot.rb`](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-test-bot) external command to perform automated testing of commits to the master branch, pull requests and custom builds requested by maintainers.
## Pull Requests
The bot automatically builds pull requests and updates their status depending on the result of the job.
For example, a job which has been queued but not yet completed will have a section in the pull request that looks like this:
![Triggered Pull Request](assets/img/docs/brew-test-bot-triggered-pr.png)
---
A failed build looks like this:
![Failed Pull Request](assets/img/docs/brew-test-bot-failed-pr.png)
---
A passed build looks like this:
![Passed Pull Request](assets/img/docs/brew-test-bot-passed-pr.png)
---
On failed or passed builds you can click the "Details" link to view the result in GitHub Actions.
