MCD TestMate – intelligently automate testing processes

Functions for efficient testing processes

MCD TestMate offers all functions for the efficient control and automation of modern testing processes. Intelligent type management enables the structured management of product variants and test sequences, while parallel and asynchronous test sequences significantly increase test throughput. With the integrated state machine, complex processes can be mapped clearly and robustly. Central resource management ensures the optimal use of measuring devices and testing equipment. Thanks to open interfaces, tool monitors and support for Python, C# and the Logic Designer, TestMate can be flexibly adapted to individual requirements. Functions such as golden sample tests, comprehensive reporting and connection to databases, MES and OPC systems create maximum process reliability, complete traceability and a future-proof test platform.
Challenges and concept

MCD TestMate integrates seamlessly into existing testing and production environments. Different measuring devices, actuators, robot systems and higher-level systems must be connected and centrally controlled within a common test environment.
