Testing CAD, ERP, and MES systems presents unique challenges due to their complex workflows, graphical user interfaces (GUIs), and high dependency on integrations with other systems. One major challenge is ensuring system updates, whether in CAD design or ERP functionality, don’t break existing features. Regression testing becomes essential but can be time-consuming and error-prone when done manually.
End-to-end testing is another hurdle, particularly in systems integrations, where data must flow smoothly between CAD, ERP, and MES environments. Any disruptions in these custom workflows can lead to production delays or costly errors in hardware output. Ensuring performance and availability is equally critical, especially when dealing with large data sets, graphical models, or real-time production environments.
Keysight Eggplant Test addresses these challenges with robust automation capabilities. Eggplant Test automates regression testing, ensuring frequent updates across these systems don’t introduce defects. Its end-to-end testing capabilities support seamless integration across CAD, ERP, and MES, ensuring smooth system interactions. Eggplant Test’s advanced image recognition and optical character recognition (OCR) enable testing of complex GUIs, making it ideal for CAD tools that rely heavily on graphical data. Additionally, it provides insights into performance and availability, ensuring that systems remain operational under varying conditions, essential for production environments that cannot afford downtime.
