    It depends on product. This super advanced FPGA boards (and other very advanced equipment) are extreme case, I think. For example when I was RoadTesting much simplier board Renesas EK-RA2L1 RoadTest Review I spend with the RoadTest significantly less time but it still was in category More than 20 hours.
