I am a AE here in the UK. Just had a customer with TestStand.
He was given a project to do in TestStand that was estimated 5 days to develop, but his managers told him to add another 5 days on just for deployment of the system, mainly because they have issues deploying the system.
The problem was including a DLL in the Workspace. Of course this is very easy to do, but they were expecting that it would automatically add the DLL to the workspace when in the sequence they were calling it, given how powerful TestStand is.
Would it be wise to add this small feature into TestStand to smoothen out the process of deployment for newer customers?
It looks like it's a widerspread issue due to the fact that the manager would recommend 5 days for deployment due to experiences with previous projects. I understand to those who have used TestStand before may think it is not much to just add the DLL into the workspace, however adding an auto include feature would be nice and could even save newer engineers time.
In addition, he suggested including .NET and C++ installers because most of the Engineers he knows use these instead of LabVIEW.
Let me know what you think of this Idea.
