National Instruments SystemLink is a software solution designed to streamline and optimize test and measurement activities. According to the vendor, it provides a central infrastructure for asset management, lab orchestration, and data management and analysis. SystemLink is aimed at small, medium, and large enterprises across various industries, including test and measurement engineers, quality assurance professionals, lab managers, manufacturing engineers, and research and development teams.

## Key Features

**Asset, System, and Lab Orchestration**: The vendor claims that SystemLink simplifies the tracking, configuration, and scheduling of test and measurement hardware. It aims to maximize test throughput and reduce costs by efficiently managing assets. The centralization of asset management is expected to improve the overall performance of test and measurement workflows.

**Data Management and Analysis**: SystemLink connects output to a centralized, scalable data pipeline, allowing for faster collection, analysis, and reporting of test and measurement data. The vendor states that it implements automated data pipelines for easier review, storage, and processing of data. It also offers predefined checkpoints to extract insights from test and measurement data.

**Maximum Test Throughput and Efficiency**: SystemLink aims to maintain a digital record of test and measurement hardware and activities. According to the vendor, it helps identify test improvements through various analysis techniques. It also claims to inform capital expenditures based on the analysis of test data, ultimately improving time-to-insight for better decision-making.

**Automated Data Pipeline**: With SystemLink, users can set up data mapping and configurations for easy data review, storage, and processing. The vendor states that it implements predefined checkpoints to enable faster extraction of insights. It aims to streamline data collection, analysis, and reporting processes, as well as facilitate efficient utilization of test and measurement output.

**Local and Global Standardization**: SystemLink allows for the deployment of consistent workflows at the bench, lab, and enterprise level. Users can scale deployment models for local and global standardization. The vendor claims that it ensures consistent processes and procedures across different locations, facilitating collaboration and knowledge sharing across teams and departments.

National Instruments headquartered in Austin offers SystemLink, a software platform for managing system configurationt tasks, device management, software deployment, to improve system uptime and performance.

As opposed to manual testing tools, Automation Test Tools produce test cases that can be applied to web pages & apps that are triggered, executed, evaluted (often a regression test), and logged by scripts. Test automations can be applied to usability / UI testing (e.g. by simulating a user), load or performance testing, functional tests, or cross-browser compatibility tests as desired. Automation Test Tools vary by what languages they can be built in (or if they have a visual test designer that allows building tests without code, but rather with a graphical model), and what they test, with particular tools specializing in a particular kind of test (e.g. browser compatibility).

Automation Testing

Likelihood to Recommend

Automation testing is the process of testing software and other technologies to ensure strict requirements are met. Automation Test Tools produce test cases that can be applied to web pages & apps that are triggered, executed, evaluated and logged by scripts.

Record and Automate

Users can record manual test cases and can automate test scripts for reuse.

Multi-Browser Testing

Users can ensure that web applications work seamlessly across different browsers.

Mobile Testing

Allows users to automate testing on mobile devices for iOS and Android platforms.

Test Scheduling

Enables users to schedule tests to run at a specific date or time, or on a recurring basis.

Test Management

Provides a centralized location to manage test cases, track progress, and generate reports.

CI/CD Tool Integration

The product allows users to integrate automated testing into their continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline for faster feedback and results.

Integrated Version Control

Tracks changes to test scripts and allows users to rollback to previous versions if needed.

Parallel Testing

Enables users to run multiple tests simultaneously.

Object Recognition

The product is able to find and interact with user interface elements on a web page or application, to suggest fixes and/or make it easier to keep test elements in sync with the actual web page or application.

Data-Driven Testing

Users can run the same test script with different inputs to test out multiple different scenarios.

Testing Collaboration

Allows teams to share test cases, results, and feedback in real-time.

Real Device Testing

The product provides access to real hardware devices for testing on different platforms. Tests are run using your own devices or using provided simulated devices.

Testing Reports & Analytics

Provides insights into test results and helps users identify trends and/or areas for improvement.

SystemLink

We have a test lab with 16 different stations and I work remotely to write and support the automated test software for the lab. We have used NI SystemLink to manage software versioning and updating for the test stations across the lab rather than having to go into each station individually and do upgrades. We also use SystemLink to give engineers and operators the ability to remotely view data from the test stations through a browser.

Licensing
Not able to see data from all test stations on one UI
Lack of data history

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
