National Instruments TestStand 2012 automated test management software

National Instruments has introduced NI TestStand 2012, the latest version of its automated test management software.

With its modular process architecture, the product helps engineers increase the flexibility and throughput of their automated test systems. The modular framework makes test set-up easy, expands test and reporting flexibility, and makes it possible for engineers to simultaneously test and report during parallel testing.

The product’s asynchronous result processing makes it possible to continue testing devices while simultaneously generating reports or data logging. Its plug-in architecture facilitates advanced customisations, including multiple report formats, with minimal code changes.

The software includes NI Idea Exchange Community-requested features that reduce development time, including drag-and-drop code module files for step auto-generation, improved array and string manipulation, and more.
