FAQ's
Integration & further development
How finely can individual roles be defined?
We recommend that you define a role for a defined user group with all rights in order to rule out any deadlock problems in advance. However, you can also create your personal administrators with limited rights in various roles and thus map your company structure.
Are the castors fixed or can they be customized?
Roles can be created individually and independently according to internal company specifications and responsibilities.
How are roles and authorizations assigned?
All actions visible in the frontend (buttons, features, functions, etc.) can be individually authorized for each role. In connection with the creation of groups, we enable our customers to map their individual organizational structures – this functionality has already been tried and tested by companies from various industries of different sizes (from local companies to multinational corporations) and can also be adopted by Microsoft Entra ID via identity management.
What roles are there?
Predefined standard roles such as defect handler, quality manager and administrator are provided. However, you can also create and customize your own role definitions.
How does the role and authorization concept work?
Testify enables the individual design of roles and authorizations so that companies can map their organizational structures.
Can the software be adapted functionally and to your own needs?

Further developments or customer-specific requirements are planned with the client in a request meeting and implemented in the Testify standard. Feature requests can be submitted via a convenient ticket portal. If there is a need, the feature can be commissioned after an internal refinement process.
Can own requirements and further developments be commissioned?
Yes, customer-specific requirements can be planned and implemented in compliance with the Testify standard development process.
What interfaces does Testify offer?

General information about Testify
Who are the people behind Testify?
At Testify, the customer is not just another number. With us, you always have a personal contact for inquiries and can rely on expert support instead of standard phrases or ticket systems without contextual knowledge.
The long-term stability is based on the people behind Testify
- Sebastian Spindler as Managing Director of Testify GmbH. He has been on board as a driving force since the foundation and implementation of the first customer projects as well as the further expansion of the company and product.
- As CTO he supports Ing. Thomas Gratz technical matters and further company development. As the founder and initiator of the Testify product idea, he has been supporting the team again since 2024 with his many years of entrepreneurial spirit and software engineering expertise
- Tina Schuett, MSc and Thomas Krennmayr act as the face to existing customers and new customer implementations, contributing extensive specialist expertise from their industry experience in the manufacturing environment and quality management for successful implementation and continuous customer support.
- Behind this is the Haidlmair Group, a stable partner and majority owner with over 600 employees, through which synergy effects in the areas of administration, financing and the required coverage of resource peaks for individual developments can be used sustainably.
Is Testify a stable company?
As the initiator of a scalable & intuitive solution for digital process documentation at the point of action, the focus from the outset was on strong customer orientation. As a result, the first product maturity was achieved self-financed. Testify was also able to keep pace with the emergence of other solutions and financially strong competitors from German-speaking countries.
With the Haidlmair Group becoming the majority shareholder in 2019, a stable growth course was initiated through a clear strategy, without Investments in the 8-digit million range in some cases, as with our main competitors.
With a focus on the latest technologies and scalable solutions, we can therefore offer global market leaders and medium-sized companies around the world a promise of sustainable and long-term cooperation.
Where does Testify come from?
Testify is a company from the heart of Upper Austria, the industrial city of Linz. With a powerful team of experts and many years of industry experience as well as in-house software development, we have been changing the understanding of digital quality documentation along the value chain of manufacturing companies since 2017.
In which areas can Testify be used?
Testify has many other applications in areas such as production support, logistics management, risk management, knowledge management and occupational safety.
What are the advantages of digital quality software over paper or Excel?
Digital quality software offers the advantage over paper and Excel of controlling all quality processes centrally and transparently. Tasks such as inspections or audits can be planned, carried out and evaluated digitally, eliminating manual transcription errors. Many QA tasks can be partially automated – for example through automatic reminders, AI-supported data analyses or seamless audit trails. The result is less effort, a lower error rate and always up-to-date quality indicators, which makes it easier to comply with standards such as ISO 9001.
How can audits be digitized?
Digitizing audits means no longer managing audit plans, checklists and documentation on paper, but on a digital platform. With quality software such as Testify, auditors can complete their audit checklists via tablet or smartphone, record deviations immediately and automatically log results. This makes the entire audit process more efficient and transparent. Audit-compliant reports are also generated at the touch of a button, making it easier to track measures and ensure compliance with standards such as ISO 9001.
What does digitalization mean in quality management?
Digitalization in quality management means that analogue quality processes are recorded, controlled and evaluated with the help of software. Instead of keeping checklists and audit reports on paper, all data is managed in a central quality software (e.g. with Testify). This increases transparency, reduces errors and makes it possible to view quality results in real time. This makes it easier for companies to comply with quality standards (such as ISO 9001) and continuously improve them.
What advantages does Testify offer?
By using Testify, companies save an average of 40% in quality assurance time. Paper-based processes are digitized, which leads to improved transparency and traceability.
What is Testify?
Testify is a flexible enterprise solution for the digitalization of quality and testing processes. Digital checklists and workflows can be used to efficiently manage and analyze processes such as incoming goods inspections, audits and maintenance checks.
Functions & application
How does Testify support ISO 9001 audits?
Testify supports audits in accordance with ISO 9001 with digital checklists, clear structures and automatic documentation of all audit points. Auditors can edit audit questions and evaluation criteria directly in the app and immediately record deviations with photos and comments. The software uses this to create an audit-proof audit log that can be used to transparently demonstrate compliance with ISO 9001 requirements. In addition, corrective measures can be derived and tracked directly from the audit results, which supports quality management in continuous improvement. Digitized templates and checklists can be published according to the 4- or 6-eye principle (dual approval process).
What is SmartCheck from Testify?
SmartCheck is an AI-supported checklist importer function in Testify. It makes it possible to automatically convert existing checklists or test templates (e.g. in Word, Excel or PDF) into digital checklists. The artificial intelligence recognizes questions, points and structures and transfers them into the system. This saves quality managers a lot of time when digitizing checklists and avoids manual transcription errors.
Which quality processes can be digitized with Testify?
Testify can be used to digitally map a wide range of quality processes. These include audits, inspections, incoming goods inspections, safety inspections and laboratory, production and maintenance tests. The software is so flexible that it is used in industries ranging from the food sector to automotive/rail, chemicals and mechanical engineering. It has proven itself both in medium-sized companies and in the corporate environment. All test steps are digitally documented, which creates transparency and supports quality assurance in analysis and improvement measures.
