SW Test automation using teststand

[Bunny3]

Hello Techies,

Currently, I am working on testing the software for the brushless motor. And in testing task, now I am little confused to choose the tools for test automation. Can anyone shortly explain the process for automation testing using teststand? what tools i need to use additionally with tesstand?

info: my Motor communicates with LIN bus with NI master harware box.

thanks

TestStand is a test executive so it can definitely test software.  I've used it for that before.  Basically you call code modules from TestStand.  Code modules are pieces of code that perform a certain action.  This, from the TS help, explains more about module adapters:

Ideally the code modules just go and collect the data and then you let TestStand perform the evaluation.  Other things that you get from TestStand:

Development Environment

Sequencing

User Management

Abstract Report/Database logging

Multi UUT Testing (if needed)

User Interfaces

Industrial support where hundreds of companies are using it

and much more.

I've seen people make entire careers out of creating their own test executives from scratch when they could have just bought one, in this case TestStand, for much less.

If you have specific questions about your application don't hesitate to post on the forums.
