Automated Test – Advantages

Tecnova believes that selecting a solution provider should not introduce additional risk into your project.  We take the time to discuss and fully understand each project opportunity and deliver complete solutions.

  • We work with our customers to understand each project requirement.
  • Engineering change orders are sometimes necessary, but Tecnova does not rely on them to complete projects.
    • The intent of a project is often as important as the written specification.
    • Tecnova does not “low ball” project Proposals because of TBD requirements.
    • We work with customers to:
      • Discuss project intent,
      • Agree upon reasonable assumptions,
      • Provide pricing and durations that can reasonably be expected for successful project completion.
  • A full and honest assessment of project risks, assumptions, and exclusions is provided in each Tecnova Proposal.

Some competitors:

  • Bid to specification without regard to TBDs or project intent.
    • This can lead to excessive engineering change orders as new details are discovered.
    • There is a higher probability for out-of-scope cost and duration overruns.
  • Maintain only the minimum National Instruments certification for the Alliance Member program.
    • Only one Certified LabVIEW Developer or Certified LabVIEW Architect is required on-staff to maintain good standing in the program.
    • Junior-level or uncertified engineers perform the majority of the work.
    • Safety, robustness, and long-term maintenance may not be considered.
    • LabVIEW coding standards may not be employed.
  • Retain all or a portion of intellectual property ownership and may charge royalties for duplication.
  • Lock portions of source code or do not deliver ALL source code.

Tecnova:

  • Does not lock or disable source code.
  • Delivers ALL source code – unlocked and enabled.
    • LabVIEW templates, architectures, subVIs.
      • Code developed by Tecnova outside of the customer project.
      • Project-specific code developed for the customer project.
    • External libraries, configuration files, drivers, etc…
  • Manages projects with senior-level engineers and developers.
    • All LabVIEW developers are certified at the Developer or Architect level.
    • Safety, robustness, and long term maintenance are considered in every phase of design.
    • LabVIEW coding standards are carefully considered and implemented.
  • Customers retain ownership of intellectual property.
    • Free to use and reuse without royalties.
    • Free to customize in-house.
