Manufacturing test automation software. It's a niche corner of professional software. If your stuff goes down, you don't make product. Downtime results in huge sums of potential profit being lost very rapidly. It's exciting when it goes right and downright crushing when it goes wrong. If you do it right you can make huge gains in process efficiency.
It's a game and I'm addicted.
Could you tell us a bit more about the software or frameworks you use ?
Golang for the software, test hardware can be pretty broad. For sense and measurement we use national instruments hardware.
Automating the tests, or testing automation software? Your description sounds like the latter.
I primarily write automation software, so would be interested in what you use for testing.
Automating functional tests for products and their subassemblies while on the manufacturing line.
We do write tests for our software too though. The projects are written in golang, unittests sprinkled in with go's builtin test framework. Integration tests use our in house product simulations that were originally designed for firmware validation.
