National Instruments SystemLink vs. NoCodeBDD

There are definitely scenarios where NI SystemLink will be useful but just didn't work out well for us. I needed to be able to replace an EXE file on a computer with a new EXE to do the upgrades but I was not able to do that through SystemLink. You had to work with packages in order to perform this and I didn't want to revamp my distribution plan. We also didn't need to do any asset management or calibration documentation through SystemLink. I was excited about being able to view data from the test stations through a browser but our engineers need historical data available and everything resets to a live view when you click back to the UI.

NoCodeBDD is well suited for organizations where fast development is a key factor and not compromise the quality in the process. This helped us reduce the time required for testing and focus on the business growth. This application helps teams to collaborate while developing the features for the product. My to go for modern development process.

NoCodeBDD [has] shown remarkable features like collaboration and most importantly test automation. Unlike other products, it does not require [a] lot of learning and understanding of the product. Most importantly you don't require code development skills as it is no code application. This is the loving part about this product. It helps in all levels of development let it be development, testing, QA, and Product owners review.

• Availability to monitor multiple test stations remotely
• Was quick to integrate into existing LabVIEW codebase
• Ultimately did not justify the licensing cost for the benefit

Incentivized

• Huge positive impact on ROI
• Was able to cut down cost in Testing and QA.
• Was able to deliver features much faster than usual
