This disclosure is directed to a test fixture to test a robustness of a connection port of an electronic device, a cable connector coupled to the connection port, or both. The test fixture may enable repeatable testing using predetermined test parameters. The test fixture may secure the electronic device using a clamp. A pendulum may be mounted in the test fixture and rotatable to cause an impact of a weight against a cable connector coupled to the connection port of an electronic device. After the impact, the integrity and/or functionality of the cable connector, the connection port, or both may be inspected. In accordance with one or more embodiments, the test fixture may be under at least partial control of a controller. The controller may enable creation or control of test parameters, repeat testing, cycle testing, and/or inspection (e.g., determining whether the connection is maintained and/or functional, etc.).
