Arrow Electronics Launches Web-based “Digital Test Drive” to Streamline Hardware Testing

CENTENNIAL, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arrow Electronics (NYSE: ARW) today announced the launch of Digital Test Drive, a cloud‑based remote engineering service that helps technology developers evaluate hardware faster, reduce costs and improve productivity.

Through a secure, private web link, individual users and distributed teams can instantly connect to a pre-set up virtual machine and connect via cloud directly to physical development boards hosted in Arrow’s engineering labs. Users can remotely control evaluation kits, access software environments, run tests and view results in real time.

Workshops, training, product demonstrations and live support from Arrow’s technical experts are available.

Digital Test Drive simplifies early‑stage testing and collaboration by helping eliminate common barriers such as kit availability, shipping delays, customs paperwork, platform comparisons, complex setup and software installation — helping businesses shorten development cycles and accelerate decision‑making.

“Digital Test Drive helps remove the delays and complexity that slow product development,” said Murdoch Fitzgerald, chief growth officer of global services for Arrow’s global components business. “There’s no shipping, no setup and fewer up‑front costs — just instant access to the tools engineering teams need to work more efficiently.”

Digital Test Drive complements Arrow’s existing Test Drive program that allows customers to borrow physical hardware for on‑site evaluation for up to 28 days.
