Architecture and Programming for Automotive Test Bench Platform at Automotive Supplier
In this project, I was responsible for the design and implementation of a new, modular, and highly scalable test bench platform for an automotive supplier. My focus was on developing a robust system architecture and programming the associated software, with consistent use of UML modeling throughout. This structured approach made it possible to greatly increase the reusability of individual LabVIEW test modules and to significantly reduce development time for follow-up projects. I also integrated modern automotive standards such as CAN FD, LIN, and safety requirements, which made the solution future-proof.
Technologies: LabVIEW, Visio, UML, CAN FD, LIN, DMM, Safety, image processing, project management, HMI, C#, C++, Python, Rust, CI

About the technology
Test sequencing
NI TestStand is used to create and run automated test sequences for production and validation. It sits at the center of a test system, coordinating steps, pass or fail logic, reports, and operator interaction. Teams use it when they need repeatable test execution across stations and product variants.
Common use cases
- Production test workflows for electronics and devices
- Validation and regression test execution
- Test sequence handling for mixed hardware setups
- Result logging, traceability, and report generation
It is common in labs, factory lines, and engineering teams that need controlled test procedures instead of manual checks. In Germany, it often appears in industrial, automotive, and electronics environments where test data and process discipline matter.
Ecosystem and tools
TestStand rarely works alone. Strong specialists know how to connect it with LabVIEW, Python, C/C++, and hardware drivers, plus instruments from NI and third-party vendors. They also understand sequence files, custom step types, process models, code modules, and report or database integration.
What strong specialists do
Good NI TestStand professionals do more than edit sequences. They design readable test flows, manage reuse, handle error recovery, and keep systems maintainable for future test coverage. They also document interfaces clearly so teams can extend the setup without breaking the test logic.
When companies bring in help
- A test system must be stabilized before launch
- Existing sequences are hard to maintain or reuse
- Reporting, logging, or station behavior needs cleanup
- LabVIEW or Python modules must be integrated cleanly
Freelance expertise is useful when internal teams know the product but need speed, structure, or hands-on sequence design. It also helps when a project spans commissioning, support, and later changes across multiple stations.
Working model in practice
For Germany-based projects, both on-site and remote work are common. On-site support helps when hardware, fixtures, and instruments need direct access. Remote collaboration works well for sequence design, debugging, documentation, and reviews when the environment is already set up.
Frequently asked questions
Not sure where to start with NI TestStand? These answers cover the essentials.
NI TestStand is used to build automated test sequences that control steps, decisions, data capture, and reporting. Companies use it for production test, validation, and service workflows where repeatable execution matters. It helps turn a set of measurements into a structured test process.
TestStand handles test orchestration, while LabVIEW is often used for instrument control and measurement logic. Many teams use both together: TestStand manages the sequence, and LabVIEW modules perform the lower-level test actions. That split usually makes larger test systems easier to maintain.
A strong NI TestStand specialist usually knows LabVIEW, Python, C/C++, and basic instrument communication. Experience with report generation, databases, version control, and hardware integration is also valuable. Those adjacent skills matter because most real test systems span software and equipment.
A NI TestStand freelancer is useful when a sequence framework needs to be created, cleaned up, or extended under time pressure. Companies also bring in outside help when a legacy setup is fragile or when new hardware must be integrated without disrupting production. It is often faster than asking an internal team to learn every detail from scratch.
A TestStand project that only needs small sequence edits can be handled by someone with practical hands-on knowledge. Larger work, such as reusable architecture, process models, or multi-station support, needs a specialist who has shipped complete systems. The more hardware, reporting, and error handling involved, the more experience matters.
Yes, much of NI TestStand work can be done remotely from Germany, especially sequence design, code review, documentation, and debugging. On-site time is still helpful when a specialist must connect to fixtures, instruments, or operator stations. Many projects use a mix of both.
Look for clear sequence structure, reusable components, and sensible error handling in TestStand work. Good specialists also document custom steps, keep reports understandable, and avoid hard-coded logic that is difficult to change later. A clean handover is usually a strong sign of quality.
NI TestStand is similar to other test executive tools in that it manages test flow rather than replacing measurement code. Its value is in orchestration, reporting, and standardization across stations. The best fit is usually a project that needs organized execution across many test steps or devices.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used NI TestStand in their recent projects is 97 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 776 € based on an 8-hour working day.
