CTA Deployment & Troubleshooting 2

Question 1

When deploying a TestStand system using the Deployment Utility, which license type must end-users have to run sequences without the full TestStand development environment?

Accepted Answer

TestStand Runtime License

Answer

End-users who only need to execute sequences (not develop them) require a TestStand Runtime License.

Question 2

A deployed TestStand application fails because a custom step type DLL cannot be found. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The DLL was not included in the deployment package or is not in the search path

Answer

Custom step type DLLs must be explicitly included in the deployment package and placed in a location within TestStand's search path.

Question 3

Which TestStand feature allows multiple stations to share a single license over a network?

Accepted Answer

TestStand Concurrent License Server

Answer

The TestStand Concurrent License Server allows a pool of runtime licenses to be shared across multiple networked test stations.

Question 4

A test sequence intermittently reports 'Step failed to load code module' on the deployed system but works fine on the development machine. What should you check first?

Accepted Answer

Whether all required code module dependencies and runtimes are installed on the target

Answer

Missing runtime dependencies (e.g., LabVIEW RTE, .NET Framework, Visual C++ redistributables) on the target machine are the most common cause of intermittent code module load failures.

Question 5

When using the TestStand Deployment Utility, what is the purpose of the 'Support Files' category?

Accepted Answer

To bundle additional files like images, data files, or help documents needed at runtime

Answer

The 'Support Files' category in the Deployment Utility is used to include ancillary files such as images, configuration data, or documentation that the application needs at runtime.
