Software Bugs Inflow per Month During Development

“I'm sorry, this beta was too good for my program. The only bugs found were bugs I introduced myself!”

– Albert Geven, Philips Research, Netherlands “In fact the transition of the older code was so smooth that I was first in doubt that I have a real beta. I am very glad that this time the efforts were focused on stability. For the way I use LabVIEW, reliability is more important than new features. The positive experience with the beta indicates that LabVIEW 2011 will indeed be a stable release.”

– Urs Lauterburg, Physics, University of Bern, Switzerland “I’m really encouraged by this release – it was a good time to stop and concentrate on stability, and I think it’s hit the mark. I upgraded our VIE Hardware Explorer and two plugins (NI-DCPower and a panel from a live project) and found no real issues.”

– Christopher Relf, VI Engineering, USA “The beta seems very stable. One needs to squeeze pretty hard to get some bugs out and most are cosmetic.”

– Christian Altenbach, Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA, USA

National Instruments is the undeniable leader in the PXI based test and measurement equipment market. “ “

The Industry is Making the Switch

“The new NI PXIe-5665 VSA gives ST Ericsson the performance and accuracy we need for 3GPP RF IC design validation in our characterization labs. At the bottom line, the VSA reduces our system cost while increasing flexibility and decreasing physical bulk compared to our previous box solutions.” – Sylvain Bertrand, RF broadband validation manager, ST Ericsson
