Updated Aug 23, 2021

Overview

What is a Test Sequencer? What are the best practices to create one in LabVIEW? Should you make your own test sequencer or use a test sequencer framework, like TestStand?

This presentation shows possible implementations of test sequencers (from state machines to actor framework), each implementation's advantages/disadvantages, and other general tips and tricks. Aimed at Intermediate test developers seeking more information about in-house test sequencer development versus using a framework like TestStand.
