NI TestStand
also: TestStand
NI's test management software for sequencing, running, and logging production and validation tests written in LabVIEW, Python, C, and other languages.
TestStand organizes test steps into sequences, runs them on one or many units in parallel, provides operator interfaces, and logs results to reports and databases, calling code modules written in LabVIEW, Python, C/C++, or .NET.
Where it bites: deployment licenses per station, sequence architecture that becomes hard to maintain without conventions, and result-database design for traceability.
Outside help is worth it for production test architecture, parallel testing, result logging, and traceability, and operator interfaces.
Common requests
- Production test architecture
- Parallel and multi-unit testing
- Result logging and traceability
- Operator interfaces
Founder takeaway
Log every test result against the unit serial number from the first pilot build; it is the foundation of yield analysis.
