NI (National Instruments) TestStand is test management software that helps you develop, deploy, and debug test systems. You always get full insight into the test process and the results. - The TestStand development environment helps engineers rapidly develop robust automated test and validation systems. The functionality of systems can be extended by developing test sequences in TestStand. The test sequences also integrate code modules written in other programming languages. You can use the built-in functionality to optimize speed and parallel execution before deploying test systems to production. TestStand includes extensible plug-ins to create reports, log to databases, and integrate with other systems to meet the needs of any environment. With TestStand, you can confidently deploy test systems with increased throughput running at production speeds.

Test-optimized AI assistant Nigel AI.
The Nigel AI Advisor offers context-aware guidance, automation, and deeper insights into your NI software. Unlike general-purpose AI advisors, Nigel AI is specifically optimized for test application development. It draws on decades of test expertise and reliable data to not only provide more accurate answers but also present them in technical formats such as tables and charts—enabling you to make informed decisions faster.
Nigel AI is integrated into TestStand Development System* to help users learn the environment, accelerate sequencer development, and improve execution.
Highlights:
- Generate sequences
- Provide expert guidance on the design and development of test systems
- Automate tasks so you can work even more productively
Since Nigel AI was developed specifically for testing and is integrated into the NI software environment, the AI works within the context of your project.
Note: Nigel AI is an optional feature and can be disabled by the user at any time. AI Advisors, including Nigel AI, are new technologies. These Advisors are still in their infancy, so they may make mistakes. Nigel AI is here to advise you, but it is important to verify the accuracy of its responses.
*Nigel AI is not available in the TestStand Base and Debug licenses.
