Manufacturing and automation systems support production continuity, operational safety, and real-time decision-making. These solutions often include web applications, plant dashboards, integrations, and connected equipment interfaces. ITQCR™ supports organizations by validating functional correctness, reliability, performance, and security controls to reduce downtime risks and improve system confidence.
What We Support in Manufacturing & Automation Projects
We provide independent testing and assurance for solutions such as:
- Production monitoring dashboards and control portals
- Asset and maintenance management systems
- Inventory, supply chain, and ERP-linked workflows (as per scope)
- Quality management and inspection systems
- Automation support platforms and operator interfaces
- Integrations with sensors, gateways, APIs, and third-party tools (as applicable)
- Reporting systems used for operational and compliance monitoring
Key Focus Areas
Functional Correctness & Workflow Validation
- Verification of business processes (work orders, approvals, reporting)
- Validation of calculations, rules, and data consistency across modules
- Role-based access controls for operators, supervisors, and admins
- Exception handling and controlled error recovery for critical flows
- Regression testing for releases and configuration changes
Reliability & Operational Readiness
- Validation of stability for continuous operations and long sessions
- Failure/recovery checks for critical workflows (as applicable)
- Verification of alerting and event logging behavior (where in scope)
- Data integrity checks across integrations and reporting layers
Security Assurance (VAPT)
- Authentication, authorization, and session control verification
- Testing for common web/API vulnerabilities aligned to best practices
- Configuration review of exposed services and interfaces (as applicable)
- Access control testing for operational and sensitive modules
- Risk-based reporting with remediation guidance and re-validation
Performance & Scalability
- Load validation for operator and plant-wide concurrent usage
- Response time and stability checks for dashboards and APIs
- Endurance testing for long-running operations (as applicable)
- Bottleneck analysis and improvement recommendations
Integration & Interoperability
- Testing of integrations between applications, APIs, and data sources
- Validation of error handling, retries, timeouts, and data reconciliation
- Compatibility checks across supported environments (as per scope)
Standards & Compliance Alignment
Testing and reporting can be aligned with applicable standards and project requirements as defined in scope, including:
- IS/ISO/IEC 17025:2017 aligned processes (documentation and traceability)
- OWASP-aligned security testing approaches (for VAPT scope)
- Organization-specific operational and security requirements (as provided)
(Only mention the standards and requirements applicable to the engagement.)
Deliverables
Based on the selected scope, ITQCR™ provides:
- Test plan / test scenarios and execution summary
- Defect reports with evidence and reproducible steps
- Performance test report with observations and recommendations
- VAPT report with risk rating, impact, and remediation guidance
- Re-test / closure verification report
- Compliance-support documentation (as applicable)
Why Independent Testing Matters for Manufacturing & Automation
Independent quality assurance helps ensure:
- Reduced risk of operational disruption due to software issues
- Improved reliability of dashboards and process workflows
- Stronger security posture for connected systems and interfaces
- Better readiness for audits and internal acceptance reviews
- Evidence-based quality outcomes for mission-critical operations
