March 12, 2026 — The release of Cornerstone version 8.2 introduces significant enhancements designed to support professionals in quality engineering, manufacturing and process improvement with more robust analytical statistical and capabilities.
What’s new in Cornerstone 8.2?
A key focus of the version 8.2 is the new Measurement System Analysis (MSA) functionality. The new release now supports Type 1 gage studies, gage bias and linearity studies, attribute gage studies and gage R&R analysis, enabling organizations to systematically assess and improve the capability of their measurement systems.
In addition, version 8.2 introduces Logistic Regression, allowing users to analyze binary quality outcomes such as pass/fail decisions and defect occurrence. This capability supports deeper root-cause analysis and more data-driven quality improvement initiatives.
The release also expands the range of available hypothesis tests, including standard deviation tests, mean rates tests, proportion tests and frequencies (goodness-of-fit) tests. These tools support statistical sound comparisons of processes, defect rates and variation.
To improve data preparation, Cornerstone 8.2 adds flexible dataset join options, including inner joins, left and right outer joins, and full outer joins. In addition, the new variables editor for derived datasets and summary statistics lets you now get back into the variable selection dialog to edit input variables and subset selection, making the analysis workflow even more flexible and easier to edit.
Probability plotting has also been enhanced with support for lognormal, and Weibull distributions, next to Normal distributions, commonly used in capability, reliability and lifetime analysis.
Finally, a new computed column function enables the generation of linearly spaced values for engineering calculations, simulations and analytical studies. With version 8.2, Cornerstone continues to support organizations in achieving reliable measurements, compliant analyses and confident quality decisions.
