Production test manager application

Question

Hi All,
I am developing production test software with LabVIEW 8.2 for hardware board. In our software, we are using database to store operator id, test id, production site, tests result and so on.
I want to make application (Production Test Manager), which targets to that production test software and initialize itself all the components(such as database) of it and run accordingly.
I am also using application toolbox to create .exe of production test software.
How do i create it, pls provide me yours valuable ideas.

Hello Puneet,
I'm afraid you'll need to give us a little more information before we can recommend any specific solutions. What type of hardware are you interfacing with and will the hardware on the test stations be changing?
Norbert was exactly right that it sounds like our TestStand automated test software would be a good fit for your application. You can find more information about it at www.ni.com/teststand. I would recommend checking out the What is NI TestStand link as well as the 4-Minute Introductory Demo.
If you are trying to communicate with MySQL then you might also want to look at the Database Connectivity Toolkit for LabVIEW (found HERE). This toolkit gives you the ability to easily connect to any type of SQL server and perform database management. 
As I said, though, these are just general recommendations that might apply to your project. In order to give you more detailed suggestions please post more information.
