The Architecting Test Systems Using TestStand Course covers how to create and edit process models to modify test execution with TestStand.
The Architecting Test Systems Using TestStand Course helps you learn how to meet your testing needs by building on the Developing Test Programs Using TestStand Course. In this course, you will work through a series of system design scenarios that teach you how and when to identify and modify different components of the TestStand framework to satisfy your test system requirements. After attending this course, you will know how to perform test executions across multiple sequences and control TestStand programmatically using the TestStand API. You also will learn how to support test developers, customize test reports, create user interfaces, review code for test programs, and manage the deployment of your test framework. The Architecting Test Systems Using TestStand Course is recommended for users preparing to customize various components of the TestStand framework and users pursuing the Certified TestStand Architect certification.
