In order to ensure the quality of a product, the provider of the product must performcomplete testing of the product. This fact increases the demands on the test systems usedto conduct the testing, the system needs to be reliable.When developing new software for a company, sometimes a requirements specificationcreated at the beginning of the project is not enough. Details of the desired implementationmay get lost when working with a general requirements specification.This thesis presents a case study of how a certain company work with their test systems.The aim of the case study was to find where the largest points of improvements could bemade in a new test system, which was to be implemented during this thesis work. Theimplementation of this new system was done in LabVIEW in conjunction with TestStandand this process is covered in this thesis.The performed case study revealed that the employees at the company found robustnessand usability to be the key factors in a new test system. During and after the implementationof the new system, it was evaluated regarding these two metrics, this process isalso covered in this thesis.
