Enduro is a controller application that runs in conjunction with SVF Pro and incorporates a windowing system with a drag and drop and multitasking environment. Users are able to simultaneously open multiple instances of each application tool, such as the exerciser, analyzer, and event log. It also features a new integrated help system with  onscreen documentation and embedded help links. Enduro is backward compatible with existing SVF file formats and APIs, thus preserving the customer’s investment in existing test scripts and automation.

With architectural advancements over its predecessor, SVF Pro with Enduro offers a set of features and capabilities that are based on the company’s experience in working with a range of customers, enabling an understanding of their requirements. In addition, the core SVF engine has been hardened over eight years in intense test environments at major SSD and flash storage customer sites worldwide.
