Using TestStand Engine API in LabVIEW

Hi all,

 

I am currently working for a proejct where automation of testing is involved, For which NI LabVIEW and TestStand are used. My previous experience is in LabVIEW only and not in TestStand. In the current project I have to develop a UI where user can select the test sequences and execute them  automatically with a simple start command. So I thought to develop a UI in LabVIEW where I will call TestStand APIs in LabVIEW. I have a developed a code by calling the TestStand APIs and able to execute the sequence, but unable to generate the report. Does  any have stuff where in TestStand APIs are called in LabVIEW and test report is generated.

 

As I mentioned earlier I haven't worked much in TestStand. I have gone through the TestStand examples like Simple UI. But it didn't helped me much.

 

To put our project requirement in simple.

1.It should  have the UI to select the TestCases (Test Sequences) and an option to select the no.of times the test cases needd to be executed.

2. It should generate the reports for all the test cases.

3. UI should support localization.

 

Considering the above requirements I have thought to develop UI in LabVIEW calling the TestStand APIs. I also got to know that UI can be developed using TestStand, but I am not sure whether the above mentioned requirments can be fullfilled or not.

 

I am attaching the VI what I have developed in the LabVIEW with which I am able to execute the sequences, but unable to generate the report. Kindly look into the VI and let me know what need to be corrected to generate the report using the same VI.

 

Thanks and Regards

Giridhar

If you want to generate a report you'll have to choose an entry point. You should have a look at the LabVIEW OI (operator Interface) shipped with TestStand
