MCD TestSuite
SOFTWARE PLATFORM FOR ALL TESTING PROCESSES
Powerful tools for secure testing processes
The MCD TestSuite accompanies users throughout the entire testing process – from development and administration to automated implementation and evaluation. Different testing tasks and production environments require a flexible software platform that can be adapted to individual customer requirements.
Turn signals, cameras, heating and driver assistance systems.

SOFTWARE PLATFORM FOR ALL TESTING PROCESSES
Thanks to its modular design, the MCD TestSuite adapts to changing customer requirements and integrates flexibly into existing test and production environments. Open interfaces, powerful automation features, and a central data foundation enable efficient, secure, and future-ready testing.
This reduces engineering effort, increases test throughput, and ensures lasting, repeatable product quality—from a single test station to a complex production line.
A flexible end-of-line test bench
For this application, MCD developed a flexible end-of-line test bench that tests every variant in less than 30 seconds. The system combines optical, mechanical and electrical test methods in one integrated testing concept.

What’s missing matters, too.
Negative testing ensures that equipment features which are not installed cannot be activated. It also verifies that missing features remain unavailable.
The MCD experts advise on the selection and configuration of suitable components and accompany the project from planning and commissioning to long-term support. On request, the MCD TestSuite with all associated components will be presented in a personal live demo.
The MCD TestSuite combines modular software components, open interfaces, automation functions and a central data base. Its configuration is tailored to the respective test process and combined with the required software tools, monitoring and operating functions, and test equipment.
