Project Overview
Korpra developed an automated test software application that transformed the testing process for a highly complex product. Previously, manual testing took over three days per device, but this LabVIEW-based solution drastically reduced test cycle times by enabling simultaneous testing of up to 10 devices.
Test Executive Architecture
The system supports multiple model numbers, accommodating unique test requirements for each unit under test (UUT). This is a textbook example of a configurable test system architecture — test steps live in the database, not in code, so adding a new model is a database-edit task rather than a software release. The test executive decouples steps from the main application, paired with a centralized Microsoft SQL Server database that stores test requirements, system settings, and results for each model. A test sequencing engine executes the test steps efficiently. (Architectures like this are the foundation of scalable test system architecture work we deliver across multiple lines and plants.)
Distributed Deployment
To meet the customer's needs, Korpra implemented distributed test stations across the manufacturing floor, each with a distinct configuration "personality." This was effectively EOL functional test development at scale — multiple parallel stations sharing one source of truth, each capable of running any model the database supported. The central database ensures consistency and stores all test data, while a report generator tool produces customer reports either upon test completion or on demand.
