New Features in NI TestStand 2010
With NI TestStand 2010 test management software, you can reduce test system development time by detecting errors faster with the new NI TestStand Sequence Analyzer utility. Also take advantage of enhanced integration with NI LabVIEW software, including projects and classes, or integrate .NET code with the completely redesigned .NET Adapter. In addition, advanced deployment options and a new file differ application help teams develop test systems faster than ever before.
