An "automated drop test" refers to a testing process where a product or component is repeatedly dropped from various heights or angles to simulate the impact of shocks or falls. The goal is to assess the durability and resilience of a product against mechanical stress.
Typical Functions of Automated Drop Test Software:
- Test Planning and Design: Creation and management of test plans for automated drop tests, considering parameters such as drop height, angle, and number of drops.
- Automated Execution: Automated execution of drop tests using mechanisms such as robots or specialized testing devices.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Continuous monitoring and recording of test results during execution.
- Data Analysis: Analysis of recorded data to assess the impact of shocks and identify potential weaknesses.
- Alarms and Notifications: Automatic notifications for deviations or critical events during tests.
- Reporting: Generation of detailed reports on the results of drop tests, including graphical representations and statistical analysis.
- Documentation and Compliance: Comprehensive documentation of test procedures, results, and compliance with industry standards and regulations.
- Integration with Other Testing Systems: Integration with other testing and quality control systems for seamless data transfer and processing.
