For purposes of test beam off-line data analysis a modular software framework has been developed and described in theses proceedings. The TbGaudi package allows to handle the test beam data for a set of runs, as well as the set of different devices under test in one-go, and finally obtain an integrated workflow to present the results. All code is written in C++ programming language. A class based design makes it flexible to add any new features of the device under investigation following a plug-in scheme. Currently, the toolkit handles different types of analysis such as charge collection efficiency, track resolution and eta correction, implemented for non-uniform irradiated sensors. The framework is applied for the LHCb upgrade studies for the VELO and UT groups.
