Solution strategy

Based on our experience with several generations of software systems we have developed

dimesTDM - Test Data Management

This system provides a modular structure. Major elements are:

  • Client/server database for multi-user functionality
  • Modular software architecture
    • Modules and tools for project data (order data, test raw data, result data and test reports)
    • Modules and tools for calibration data of test equipment
    • Modules and tools for user management and statistics
    • Status visualization, project overview
    • Data import, export and transfer between modules
  • Test system operation by remote control
  • Search and research tools for clients (document management)
  • Status reports in HTML format for standard HTML browser, no software required
  • Net architecture and module communication via TCP/IP
  • Sleep modi to minimize CPU and net loads

The provision of optimized customer-specific solutions is only possible by means of the modular structure and its flexibility.
