National Instruments NI TestStand 2012

National Instruments has introduced NI TestStand 2012, the latest version of its automated test management software. With its modular process architecture, NI TestStand 2012 helps engineers increase the flexibility and throughput of their automated test systems, by making test set-up easier, expanding test and reporting flexibility, and making it possible for engineers to simultaneously test and report during parallel testing.

Asynchronous result processing makes it possible to continue testing devices while simultaneously generating reports or data logging, and the plug-in architecture facilitates advanced customisations, including multiple report formats, with minimal code changes.

NI Idea Exchange Community-requested features have also been included that reduce development time, including drag-and-drop code module files for step autogeneration, and improved array and string manipulation.
