How it works

Just press Go
Hardware integration
Automation and Scripting
Simultaneous testing
Reporting

Simply press the Go button and BurnInTest will thoroughly exercise the hardware in your Windows-based servers, desktops, laptops and tablets* in a condensed short period of time, in the same way that normal applications would be stressing a PC over a long period of time.

This takes advantage of the fact that computer hardware tends to fail either very early in its life or after many thousands of hours of use.

Fully test every I/O port of your system with these optional hardware accessories.

BurnInTest includes the ability to have multiple test configurations for different hardware and automation can be done via dozens of command line arguments and an inbuilt scripting language. It is also possible to develop your own test modules and integrate them into BurnInTest).

All the test modules can be either run in parallel or individually. Running in parallel increases system load, shortens the burn in period and helps find subtle faults. It is also possible to individual adjust the duty cycle of each test module.

Test results can be outputted in a variety of formats including text and HTML. The software can product test certificates customized by the user, debugging logs and also includes extensive system information such as CPU & GPU temperatures, disk and memory serial numbers.
