Test Systems for Functional Testing

Functional testing is a crucial step in the development process of industrial and commercial products, ensuring their quality and dependability. At Novator Solutions, we custom-build functional test systems to your exact requirements, ensuring a smooth and efficient testing process.

We offer test systems for functional testing that are crucial for ensuring the quality and functionality of your devices. This not only improves the quality of your products but also reduces overall production costs by minimising the need for repairs and maintenance. By providing essential data for analysis, our test systems ensure that your products meet the quality standards and requirements anticipated by your customers.

Understanding Functional Testing

Essentially, test systems for functional testing assess how effectively a product operates within its intended environment. These systems encompass various types of tests, including those for input and output signals, communication protocols, data processing, and interactions with other system components.

Test systems for functional testing for industrial and commercial products assess several key aspects: whether input and output ports function correctly, if the device meets industrial standards for control signalling response, its ability to handle large data loads in real-time without interruptions, and its performance within specified temperature ranges.

FAQ

  • Why does a product need functional testing?

  • Functional testing of a product is performed to ensure reliability and quality. It demonstrates that the product meets standards and specifications while minimising the risk of costly failures and recalls.

  • What are the consequences of not performing functional testing?

  • Failures and defects of a product that occur after sale are very costly in terms of recalls and redesign of hardware and software. It can also damage the reputation and brand of the manufacturer. 

  • What are the benefits of using external help with functional testing?

  • By using external help, you can spend your time and resources on developing products or other important tasks. It can also be helpful to get a different perspective on the testing process and requirements. Sometimes, the development department might inadvertently overlook scenarios they consider unreasonable.

  • How can test systems for functional testing be automated?

  • The more test steps functional testing needs, the more reasonable automation becomes. The automation of testing is done through software that performs all test steps with maximum efficiency and accuracy. Communication with measuring instruments is done through the software and the connection of test ports of various types can be controlled from the test software.

  • Why are LabVIEW and TestStand used for functional testing?

  • Both programs were developed with the aim of automating the testing and measurement of various real world phenomena. With their user-friendly graphical interface, they are considered highly accessible. Great emphasis has been placed on ensuring smooth integration between hardware and software, offering exceptional flexibility and modularity. TestStand is specifically designed for executing test sequences, and boasts a user interface that simplifies the creation and management of such sequences.
