  1. Platform Based Test Architecture

  2. Introduction • Why platforms matter? • Why a good architecture matters? • Tools and Architectures • Software tools, Object Oriented paradigm • General Architectures • More Platforms • Automated Test with TestStand • Systems Management and Data Management with SystemLink • Agenda

  3. DMC Overview Established in 1996, DMC serves customers worldwide from offices in Chicago, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Houston, New York, Seattle, and St. Louis Established in 1996, offices in Chicago, Boston, & Denver and customers throughout the world 180+ employees & growing

  4. Test & Measurement Certifications

  5. Don’t reinvent the wheel. • Take advantage of problems that have already been solved by others. • Platform Based Test Architecture

  6. Pitfalls! Common Pitfalls • “This is the best tool we know of” • “Good enough for now” • “We’ll cross that bridge later” • “We didn’t know that tool already existed”

  7. #1 Take Away Understand your options. Invest in your solutions. (Your future self, and your future organization, will thank you for it.)

  26. Create, execute, and debug test sequences • Reuse code developed in other programming languages • Generate reports and integrate with databases • Develop or connect to professional operator interfaces • TestStand

  27. TestStand TestStand is a good choice for: • Running rigidly-defined tests (e.g., validation, EOL tests) TestStand is not the best choice for: • Tests involving deterministic Real-Time systems
