Zero-tolerance sector

Quality for the systems society runs on

Critical infrastructure is the operational backbone of modern life — telecom networks, water systems, and transit — for the operators who cannot afford an outage. TestLauncher brings agentic testing, continuous compliance, and a compounding QA Brain to OT and IT alike, so resilience is verified continuously and an outage stays hypothetical.

Why zero tolerance here A dropped call is an annoyance. A failed emergency dispatch, a contaminated water supply, or a stalled signaling system is a public-safety event. Critical infrastructure has no maintenance window society will tolerate — the cost of a defect is measured in outages, exposure, and lives, and it cannot be rolled back.
The hard part

What makes quality hard in critical infrastructure

OT and IT converge unevenly

Decades-old operational technology now sits behind modern IT surfaces. Testing has to span both without ever touching the live control loop that keeps the lights on.

Legacy systems, no downtime

Core systems predate the teams that run them and cannot be paused for testing. Validation must work against equipment that has no test environment and no spare capacity.

Resilience under adversarial load

Failures arrive as cascades, storms, and deliberate attacks — not neat single faults. Coverage has to reach the correlated, worst-case conditions that scripted tests never model.

Expertise walks out the door

The engineers who understand these systems are retiring, taking undocumented knowledge with them. Quality depends on capturing that judgment before it is lost.

How TestLauncher helps

One intelligence layer for critical infrastructure

The same owned QA Brain — testing, knowledge, and compliance — focused on the risks this sector can’t afford to get wrong.

bugAgent

Autonomous, scriptless testing of security and resilience that self-adapts across network, protocol, and firmware changes — surfacing failures before an outage does.

qualThread

Turns retiring operators' undocumented know-how and decades of run logs into a living digital thread, so institutional knowledge outlives the people who held it.

ARC

Runs regulatory and reliability compliance as a continuous background process, keeping evidence current across NERC, sector rules, and audits without a scramble.

Launch App

The sovereign, deterministic foundation that keeps quality data owned and air-gappable — fit for OT environments where sovereignty and isolation are non-negotiable.

Standards & frameworks

Designed to support the regimes you work toward

TestLauncher is designed to support programs working toward the standards below and generates the traceability and evidence they call for. Naming a standard here is not a claim of certification — it describes the regimes our customers operate in.

  • IEC 62443

    A framework for cybersecurity of industrial automation and control systems, widely applied to OT environments.

  • NIST Cybersecurity Framework

    A voluntary framework for managing and reducing cybersecurity risk across critical infrastructure sectors.

  • ISO/IEC 27001

    An international standard for information security management systems and their controls.

  • ISO 22301

    A standard for business continuity management, aimed at maintaining operations through disruption.

  • IEC 61508

    A standard for the functional safety of electrical and electronic safety-related systems.
