When software controls tunnels, storm barriers or production lines, a failure costs more than a bug report. We test hardware and software together, as close to production as we can get.
THE CHALLENGE
Why testing critical systems is different
In infrastructure and industry, software doesn’t live on its own. It steers machines, and people depend on it.
Many systems, one chain
Subsystems have to work together, from each single component to the full end-to-end chain.
IT meets OT
New software has to work with existing hardware and control systems.
No standard to follow
One-of-a-kind systems need a test approach built for them.
Failure is not an option
The consequences of a failure go far beyond downtime.
OUR APPROACH
How we test
We test the system as it will really run: hardware and software together, under the conditions it has to survive.
Hardware and software integration testing
Test setups that replicate production as closely as possible
Simulated equipment failures, emergencies and real traffic conditions
Failover tests: backup systems must switch on straight away
A risk-based test strategy (TMap) that evolves with the findings
Operators who test under our guidance
IN PRACTICE
What this looks like in practice
A new motorway tunnel
Integration testing of tunnel installations, traffic control and monitoring, in a purpose-built test facility. Including extensive failover tests.
A storm surge barrier
New operating software for a one-of-a-kind barrier. A risk-based TMap strategy, operators testing under guidance, and external influences simulated.
A data warehouse
A faster ETL test strategy based on small datasets, automated with tools like Pytest and Great Expectations.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which domains do you work in?
Infrastructure and industrial systems, such as tunnels, storm barriers and control systems, and the data behind them. We’ve combined software testing with IT/OT integration for more than a decade.
Can you test before the system goes live?
Yes. We test in setups that replicate production as closely as possible, so failures and emergencies can be simulated safely.
How do you decide what to test first?
With a risk-based strategy: what would hurt most if it failed is tested first and deepest. The strategy evolves as the findings come in.
Do you work with our own engineers and operators?
Yes. Operators can test under our guidance, so the people who run the system know it works.
Tell us about the system you need to test, and we’ll show you how we’d approach it.
