In an embodiment, a testing apparatus includes an air mixing chamber, a docking unit, and a DUT (device under test) test execution unit. The air mixing chamber includes a first air inlet operable to receive a first air flow, a second air inlet operable to receive a second air flow, and an air outlet operable to output a mixed air flow. The docking unit is operable to receive and to securely hold a DUT (device under test) receptacle including an electrical interface, an air flow interface, and a DUT coupled to the electrical interface. The DUT receptacle is configured to enclose and hold inside the DUT. The docking unit is operable to couple to the electrical interface and to the air flow interface. The docking unit is operable to receive and to send the mixed air flow to the DUT receptacle. A DUT test execution unit is coupled to the docking unit. The DUT test execution unit is operable to perform a test on the DUT that is inside of the DUT receptacle.
