Test Management Software for Automated Validation and Manufacturing - NI TestStand 4

National Instruments announced the new TestStand 4.0 test management software for automated validation and manufacturing test systems. This new version features an easy to use streamlined sequence editor that reduces development time. This new feature can be used to easily reconfigure the TestStand development environment to facilitate the use of basic software features for new users or to meet the required functionality of advanced systems.

Engineers can use NI TestStand 4.0 to enhance enterprise system connectivity and reporting by integrating with requirements management tools, such as IBM Rational RequisitePro and Telelogic DOORS and the Automatic Test Markup Language (ATML).

NI TestStand 4.0 also features with the sequence file translator framework, providing tools to translate custom sequence file formats to NI TestStand sequences. The new binary sequence file format reduces the size of sequence files and improves loading time by 75 percent compared to the previous INI format while the new XML sequence file format increases the readability of sequence files.

NI TestStand 4.0 integrates with a variety of software including NI Switch Executive switch management software, the National Instruments LabVIEW graphical development environment, National Instruments LabWindows(TM)/CVI and NI Requirements Gateway requirements management software.

Price of TestStand 4.0 is starting  at $3,500; €3,699; ¥501,000
