During ATLAS Phase-II Upgrade almost every electronics component of the Tile Calorimeter (TileCal) will be upgraded. The new on-detector readout electronics system requires a new portable system that will certify its correct functionality during the assembly, installation and maintenance periods. PROMETEO is an upgrade of the current MobiDICK system [1] that was used to test current electronics during the Long Shutdown 1 and 2. PROMETEO must be modular, easy to use, relatively cheap, autonomous and portable system. The PMT block teststand uses the Prometeo system together with a dedicated black box to certify the PMT block with light pulses. The super-drawer teststand allows to test an entire super-drawer inside a light tight box and verify individual PMT block response to light pulses.
