Manufacturers struggle to monitor machines and software information for anomalies which is the result of poor quality maintenance. aqua test management solution can help track when quality issues in the code occur before the actual production
Manufacturers specialising in spare details for IoT companies had to suspend their product delivery because of discovered defects in the software during the final testing stage. Consequently, the company had been losing 3% of revenue month over month.
This also complicated the regulatory compliance and dropped brand advocacy by customers. Implementation of test management had to provide better quality assurance to reduce the impact of the problems listed above.
During working within the aqua platform the manufacturer managed to improve its manufacturing KPIs, release a bugs-free end code in 89% of the cases and tweak the reputation.
QA lead couldn't see what changes were made within their bug solving processes and statuses of tasks.
Which also made the compliance ISO 9000 very complicated for them due to the lack of a proper QA platform and poor quality control
Managers struggled to efficiently distribute workload in the team. They used multiple tools at once which lack proper synchronisation.
It eventually caused a chain of undesired consequences: more issues, delayed releases, failing deadlines
With the growth of orders for production, the costs of maintaining cloud servers for software development and testing also grew.
It became impractical to conduct manufacturing software testing on their own servers due to the number of results obtained
QA teams encountered challenges with testing during major releases. The previously used solution performed manual testing automation without allowing it to sync and track whichever part of the software is automated.
The data gap caused redundant manual efforts and overloaded the team
aqua provides a broad spectrum of tools tailored to QA testing for manufacturing. They contribute to intensified customer satisfaction, ultimately reduced costs and thrilling increased efficiencies
Open a requirement and auto-create an entire aqua test case covering it. Describe a test in plain words and get full test steps for it. Auto-prioritise your test cases to see which tests you absolutely must execute before deploying
Using aqua as your manufacturing testing system saves time on manual QA by up to 40% no matter the domain. Fast and intuitive test management gives a boost to Clothing, Electronics, FMCG, Chemicals, Metal, Petroleum facilities & more.
The AI time savings are noticeable no matter the industry as well. You will save up to 12.8 hours/week per specialist by generating tests with AI, as up to 42% of them will require no further tweaks. Unlike ChatGPT, aquaās AI Copilot knows and leverages the context of your requirements and existing tests. This makes aqua the perfect manufacturing test tool at any scale.
aqua helps companies reduce efforts to effectively meet regulatory requirements as one of the main ISO 9000 standard requirements is to connect traceable quality management systems to business processes.
aqua empowers administrators with a complete overview of the system audit logging and helps track various actions occurring in the system, username who did the action, a timestamp when it was done, event type, and many more
aqua allows defining a smart workflow for each type of item at every stage of the development lifecycle. Incorporate your business case-specific processes from start till the end and keep every step consistent.
Redesign the workflow when it's required and keep everybody stays on track.
aqua project users can use Views and Filters to drill down on details: check the sprint, view assigned tickets, estimated points, progress status, and other information that brings transparency to the team and help make better decisions.
Enjoy visualising the progress of your team with the Gantt planner and the burndown chart
aqua is one of the fewest platforms providing true scalability in the industry with no limits on your growth. Don't limit yourself to creating requirements, defects, test cases, test scenarios, scripts, projects - aqua manages it all. There are also no limits on recording history of test executions, the system events and collaboration logs.
aqua allows companies to expand, not being hampered by its structure, available resources, or increased data to store. Choose where to reside your data:
Cloud:
When choosing the aqua SaaS option, you can be sure that your data is securely stored on EU servers.
On-premise:
Keep your data locally and secured while aqua provides full-cycle maintenance and support, so you save money on setup, upkeep and extra maintaining staff costs.
Total freedom to grow and stay on top in every phase of your business
Reach detailed information about the devices and environments through custom fields, labels & variables.
Utilise an extensive variety of data tracked in aqua:
- who & when created the item;
- when & by whom the item was modified;
- are requirements tested;
- is a test case executed;
- are there any defects discovered, and if they are related to a specific RQ or TC/TS.
Track which of the tests are already automated, and what their performance is. Or re-run test scenarios to save time creating new ones

Many companies can track bugs and test their software development fine without a pro-tracking system. But aqua brings full traceability to your organisation and helps you to find answers to the most important questions in a matter of minutes:
01
Is this requirement tested at all/ tested enough?
02
Who did test that and how?
03
What did they do exactly to verify it works?
04
With what kind of data? User inputs?
05
What version have they tested, in which browser & OS?
06
Have the test cases been reviewed and possibly updated after the requirement changed?
07
What defects have been found? Have they been retested? How exactly have they been retested?
08
Who did change the requirement? What has been changed?
āAt aqua, we've helped world's most innovative teams optimise their testing process for 20+ years already.ā

In aqua you can create five types of tickets such as requirements, test cases, test scenarios, bugs, and scripts. aqua enables QA teams to check their software on every step of production cycle via the rich-functions defects tracking system.
Plan and schedule tests, test end to end scenarios for a specific complex problem of the software and keep an eye on the their performance. Discuss headway of a projects on a ticket with team members and notify them about changes instantly.
Make full use of a fully flexible structure of projects and folders where arrange your tickets
