How Long Does it Take to Validate a Teamcenter Upgrade?
For most digital engineering teams, the answer is weeks of manual testing. Keysight Eggplant compresses that into hours.
Visit Keysight at booth 218.
PLM Upgrades have become something to survive, not something to ship
Teamcenter releases. NX service packs. SAP integrations. Custom workflows built years ago by people who have since left.
Every one of these changes has to be validated before it touches production, and almost none of that validation is automated. The result is a release calendar dictated by the testing team's bandwidth, not the engineering team's ambition.
Why digital engineering teams are rethinking PLM testing
92%
have postponed or cancelled a release because manual testing missed deadlines
88%
say end-to-end testing across integrated systems is the single hardest thing they do.
83%
of all manual testing focuses on regressions, leaving no room for new work.
Watch the digital manufacturing (PLM) test talk
Watch Keysight Eggplant drive a real Teamcenter web application; clicking, typing, validating and building reusable test functions, exactly the way a user would. No code. No API access. Any operating system, any client.
The talk opens with the problem in two minutes: why one design change rippling across Teamcenter, SAP and MES turns regression into a multi-week bottleneck. Then it shows the fix, on screen, end to end.
Teams that switched: regression time and cost down ~75%, implementation 3–10x cheaper than manual, and tests non-technical staff can maintain.
One platform that tests the whole workflow
Keysight Eggplant Test uses computer vision and AI to drive automated tests the way a real user would, across any application, any interface, any operating system.
That means a single test can move from NX to Teamcenter to an ERP screen to a generated PDF and validate every step of the data handoff. No source code access. No fragile selectors. No separate framework for every tool in the stack.
End-to-end workflow validation
Test a change in CAD through PLM approval, BOM Update, and MES execution in one automated flow. Desktop, browser, virtualized session or a generated PDF, all in a single test.
Works with your existing tools
Teamcenter, NX, CATIA, Creo, Windchill, 3DEXPERIENCE, SAP, custom in-house tools. No API or special permissions to drive any of them. If a user can see it on screen, Keysight Eggplant can test it.
Survives version upgrades
Model-based design and computer vision mean a Teamcenter version upgrade or a UI refresh doesn't shatter your test suite. Tests heal automatically where possible and flag the rest.
Built for non-technical testers
Domain experts and QA analysts build and maintain tests without writing code. That's how teams move beyond a small specialist scripting bottleneck to broad, sustained automation coverage.
Validated for the Siemens digital engineering and lifecycle management stack
Keysight is a member of the Siemens Digital Industries Technology Partner Program. Through that partnership, teams running lifecycle management platforms like Teamcenter PLM or Polarion, and digital engineering and manufacturing software, such as the NX CAD/CAM/CAE environments, can deploy Keysight Eggplant Test to validate their enterprise applications and engineering workflows before changes reach production.
