"Our focus throughout the MTS TestSuite software development process has
been the end user," said Bill Kegley, Product Group Manager, MTS. "We
interviewed users before development began and then validated their input
with usability studies and beta testing. Extensive user feedback allowed us
to build a scalable, easy-to-use interface that is employed across the MTS
TestSuite product line. This common interface allows for sharing of test
development, execution and data analysis throughout the lab."

Due to the intensely user-centric development approach, the MTS TestSuite
software gives users more control than ever before. Calculations are
transparent and modifiable, so that testing professionals can use the testing
templates provided by MTS, modify those templates or develop their own. Test
design is done through a graphical workflow interface that allows users to
see the tests they are creating in a flow chart format. Creating tests, even
those with complex and parallel workflows, is simple and fun.

"MTS is renowned for our in-house software development expertise. For
years, we have led the testing industry with innovative and robust software
solutions," said Laura B. Hamilton, Chair and Chief Executive Officer. "The
MTS TestSuite software platform is a culmination of all that we have learned
while developing software across diverse markets for various testing
applications. This modular solution allows companies to leverage their
testing program across geographies and business units, increasing the
efficiency of their testing operations, and allowing for future growth."
