Fewer Errors. Faster Validation. Stronger Compliance.

From CAD to ERP, from Teamcenter to 3DEXPERIENCE — every integration matters.

Manual PLM testing is slow, brittle, and error-prone. Missed defects can cascade through BOMs, CAD assemblies, and MES workflows, causing costly rework and program delays. Teams waste countless hours repeating the same validation steps every time Siemens, Dassault, or PTC roll out an update.

Keysight Eggplant ends that cycle. By automating functional and regression testing across PLM systems, including Teamcenter, 3DEXPERIENCE, Windchill, AutoCAD, and beyond, Keysight Eggplant validates complex user workflows, ensures data stays consistent, and gives teams confidence in every release, integration, and upgrade.

Modernizing PLM Testing Frameworks: From Manual to Machine

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software underpins every stage of a product’s journey—from CAD design and engineering to manufacturing, compliance, and end-of-life. For OEMs, it connects people, processes, and data across complex ecosystems like Teamcenter, 3DEXPERIENCE, and Windchill.

Yet manual testing still dominates, slowing programs, increasing risk, and leaving hidden errors that ripple across the digital thread. This eBook explores why traditional approaches fall short and makes the business case for AI-augmented test automation that accelerates validation, strengthens compliance, and keeps pace with today’s dynamic market demands.
