Architecting Test Systems with TestStand

Building on the Developing Test Programs Using TestStand course, the Architecting Test Systems Using TestStand course covers how to customize TestStand to further meet your testing needs. You will work through a series of system design scenarios that teach you to identify when and how to modify different components of the TestStand framework to satisfy your test system requirements. NEW VERSION: Clicking the Access Course button will now add the new 2020 version of this course to your course library. If you already have Architecting Test Systems with TestStand 2014, it will still be available in your course library.
