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. TestStand is equipped with NI Nigel™ AI for accelerated development.

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.

Nigel AI

Nigel is the first AI built for test. It provides helpful information and assists in building sequences within the environment, accelerating your learning and development—so you can be even more productive.
