    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.

    • Prepared 25 end-to-end scenarios that leveraged 3,000 manual test cases and this was a big achievement for the customer to save the regression time and resources.
    • It is fast to automate SAP projects
    • Improved development cycle and nowadays customers are expecting "lights off" automation. We have scheduled lights off automation mode through Worksoft Certify.
