If you google for 'linux wireless automated testbed' you'll find a plethora of 
entries.  It seems to be a research topic at a number of universities. 

Here are two:

http://networks.cs.ucr.edu/testbed/index.htm: "This is the first wireless 
research testbed that adopted the architectural choice of combining Linux NFS 
and PoE with wireless hardware platforms."

http://www.winlab.rutgers.edu/pub/docs/focus/ORBIT.html: "The ORBIT project ... 
[has] the objective of developing a large-scale open-access wireless networking 
testbed for use by the research community working on next-generation protocols, 
middleware and applications."

http://mytestbed.net/projects: "OMF was originally developed for the ORBIT 
wireless testbed at Winlab, Rutgers University. Since 2007, OMF has been 
actively extended to operate on testbeds with many different type of network 
and resource technologies."


In my personal automated testbed daydreams, the openwrt test server (OTS) is 
able to distribute tests to remote test systems that host different router 
architectures, so that if someone lacks a particular model to perform testing 
on, the OTS will be able to utilize a router at a remote site...   And yes, I'd 
make a few available.
