Test Automation for Production

More stable processes on the shop floor and in the back office: With Drvless, manufacturers automate end-to-end processes directly via the user interface – just as a user would execute them. This works without access to backend code and is more robust against GUI changes.

Challenges in production

In production environments, long lead times, high availability requirements, and numerous interconnected systems converge. Even minor UI changes to screens, terminals, or process steps can cause downtime, scrap, or rework. Therefore, updates and releases must be secured with reliable, realistic end-to-end tests.

Critical production and quality processes

Traceability, quality checks, releases, batch/serial numbers and documentation: These processes must function reliably in the user interface – with every release.

Mixed system landscapes

ERP/MES, warehouse/logistics, planning tools, web portals, and terminal/HMI-related applications are interconnected. Pure API tests often do not fully cover real-world operating processes.

Restrictive environments

Shop floor IT is often isolated; installations on the target system or code access are not always possible.

Our Solution

Drvless automates processes via a GUI, making it particularly suitable for real-world operating workflows in production and back-office environments. Drvless requires no installation on the System Under Automation and can be used directly in production or safety-critical environments.

GUI based automation

Automate user interfaces as they are used by a user – even when backend code access is not possible. (“Visible = controllable”)

Across operating systems and devices

The same automation runs on Windows, macOS, Unix, etc., and covers desktop, mobile, and tablet applications with the same automation scenario.

Can be created without programming knowledge

Automation scenarios are created via drag-and-drop in a visual editor or described in natural language and automatically converted.

For the first time, with Test Automation you can go into your departments and say, “Would you like to create some test cases?” – because it’s really very easy.
