National Instruments TestStand 2.0 is the latest release of the most powerful test executive software in the manufacturing test market. With TestStand, manufacturing test developers create automated test systems that dramatically reduce the cost of testing products by increasing throughput and reducing test development time.

Test executives form the core of the modern test platform. They define the sequence of the tests, efficiently control instruments, make complex decisions, and ultimately, deliver a product in which the customer has a high level of confidence.

In the past, test developers had a difficult decision, either to develop a custom test executive from the ground up or to buy an off-the-shelf package. While developers can create advanced features with custom test executives, they are expensive to build and even more expensive to maintain. An off-the-shelf package delivers excellent value but often cannot meet all performance specifications. National Instruments TestStand overcomes both of these challenges. As a complete test executive, TestStand runs "out of the box" but has the flexibility for you to customize it to your exact requirements for the most challenging high-volume and/or highly complex test system.
