Zero-tolerance sector

Quality for the connected factory floor

Smart manufacturing fuses IT and OT — MES, SCADA, PLCs, and the software that orchestrates them. A defect here does not crash a page; it halts a line or endangers an operator. TestLauncher brings agentic testing and continuous compliance to industrial software, without stopping production to get it.

Why zero tolerance here On the factory floor, uptime is the product and safety is non-negotiable. A regression that would be a minor annoyance in a web app becomes lost output, scrapped batches, or a safety incident — the zero-tolerance reality TestLauncher is designed for.
The hard part

What makes quality hard in smart manufacturing

IT/OT convergence

Enterprise software and operational technology carry different risk models and change cadences. Quality has to span both without treating either as an afterthought.

Uptime is the product

You cannot halt the line to validate a change. Regression confidence has to be established continuously and before every release, not in a maintenance window.

Safety and security together

Functional safety and industrial cybersecurity are entangled on the floor — a security gap can become a safety event. They belong in one pipeline.

Validated change control

Regulated production (pharma, food, medical device manufacturing) needs audit-ready evidence for every change — generated automatically, not assembled by hand.

How TestLauncher helps

One intelligence layer for smart manufacturing

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

bugAgent

Autonomous functional, performance, and security testing of industrial software surfaces — continuously, without scripting every path.

ARC

Continuous compliance across ERP/QMS and computer software validation (CSV) for validated environments, with evidence as a background process.

qualThread

Institutional knowledge that captures decades of line changes and tribal know-how into a living, queryable thread.

Launch App

The sovereign foundation that keeps your quality and process data owned by you and governed on your terms.

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

    Security for industrial automation and control systems (IACS).

  • IEC 61508

    Functional safety of safety-related electrical/electronic systems.

  • ISO 9001

    Quality management systems — the baseline for consistent production.

  • GAMP 5 / CSV

    Computer software validation for regulated (e.g. pharma) manufacturing.

  • ISA-95

    Reference model for enterprise-control system integration.
