What Is NI TestStand?

TestStand is off-the-shelf test management software for validation and production test that eliminates the need for time-intensive in-house sequencer development and maintenance.

Product Features

  • Multi-Language Sequences

    Use an interactive environment to build and configure a series of test steps with code from sources like LabVIEW, Python, C/C++, and .NET, even in the same sequence.

  • Increased Production Throughput

    Optimize test time and hardware utilization with built-in parallel execution and auto-scheduling, two features that typically require hundreds of development hours.

  • Improved Design Validation

    Increase coverage on your test unit with less development by using built-in sweep loops that iterate your tests through parameters with different levels of nesting.

  • Automatic Reporting

    Generate custom reports with individual test and unit results and connect to databases to store critical test information.

  • Test at Scale

    Speed through the packaging and deployment process for your testers and include standard or custom operator interfaces that make usage more intuitive for technicians.
