What Is NI TestStand?

TestStand accelerates test system development with a ready, flexible framework for sequencing measurements. Users can intuitively build and configure their series of test steps from existing code written in common programming languages.

• Sequence editor—TestStand provides an interactive environment to build your test sequence and more clearly visualize execution flow. Drag and drop to add and reorganize test steps, and implement conditional logic to modify sequence flow. 
  
• Module adapters—TestStand includes adapters to call code modules written in LabVIEW, C/C++, .NET, and Python, increasing code re-use and eliminating rework. Each adapter provides a direct interface for passing parameters handling return values and managing execution settings.
  
• Debugging tools—Set breakpoints and step through sequence code with integrated tools that connect to your development environment. Minimize your time spent debugging with faster insights.
  

TestStand helps engineers test more in less time. Users can reduce their overall test time and prevent costly additional equipment purchases by executing tests in parallel.

• Parallel execution—Go from single-unit to multi-unit parallel tests with TestStand. This architecture typically requires hundreds of hours of development—but with TestStand, it’s ready out of the box.
  

• Auto-scheduling resources—Maximize hardware utilization and increase test efficiency with automatic resource scheduling. During sequence execution, TestStand will initiate test steps once equipment is available.
