Challenges:
- To
come up with testing equipment that can
simulate the testing activities performed by
a human testing resource while testing the
product.
- To
reduce the continuous interference and
attention of a human resource while testing the product.
- To
carry out the stress tests on the product
that is practically difficult for a human
resource to carry out. Also reduce the time
taken by a human resource in testing the
product.
- To
generate the soft copy report after the test
is over that will allow the user to verify
whether the test carried out on the product was
OK or NOT OK To enter into the automation field
by making use of our network printer.
Achievements:
- Unavailability
of human testing resource doesn’t hamper
the schedule of testing the product
- Automatic
test report generation in soft copy format
reduces the considerable time taken by a human
resource for preparing the test report in
hard or soft Copy format.
- Automatic
testing equipment was able to find out
certain drawbacks of the product that a human
testing resource was unable to highlight.
Client: MIDCO Ltd.
Product
Brief:
Midco is
constantly making efforts to improve the quality
of the product and in the process they are
passing their each product through a series of
rigorous tests. Midco has developed Automatic
Testing Equipment that tests the product to its
maximum capabilities in a manner, which is
practically very difficult for a human resource
to test.
At the
heart of the Automated
Test Equipment is an ARM cored
Philips Microcontroller. To carry out the
testing the user has to select tasks from a
database present within the testing equipment.
The testing equipment functions by initiating
selected tasks one by one in which it provides
inputs to the product, senses the outputs of the
product and generates a report stating whether
the tasks completed by the product were OK or
NOT OK.
In doing this human intervention is required
only at the start of the test to select the tasks and then at the end of the test to verify the test report. |
