Investigate and report test data
-- Test & Measurement World, 5/8/2007 6:45:00 AM
Arendar 2007 from VI Technology pulls together test data from automated test systems across a network. Arendar is enterprise software that runs on SQL servers where users can “investigate” data through math operations. It then lets you format data into publishable reports.
Arendar works through a browser (Internet Explorer or Firefox) where users gain access to data, develop investigations, and view reports. As an investigative tool, Arendar lets you look at data across multiple parts and across multiple test conditions. You can use “and” and “or” operations to uncover trends or anomalies in test data, then use charts such as histograms and Pareto charts to plot results.
As a reporting tool, Arendar 2007 pulls data from a database using report templates that include text, data, and graphics (such as charts and schematics). Templates let you develop a custom report for individual devices or it can generate reports for a set of devices. An export function lets you publish reports in HTML or PDF formats.
You can schedule reports thorough a scheduling wizard and receive reports at specified time intervals. You can create custom applications because Arendar’s programming interface is accessible from any language that supports Microsoft .NET.
Because Arendar is enterprise software, its pricing reflects those typical of that industry. Processor-model pricing is based on number of server processors where Adrendar is installed. Price is $38,995 per processor with no user licensing needed. Alternatively, pricing is available as a client-server model, with prices of $15,000 per server and $1000 per client.
