Defect Tracking and Documentation in a Single Software Solution

Testify (testify.io) is a software solution from Linz for digital checklists, inspections, and defects, which allows you to record defects via the app using photos and track them through the verification process.

  • Record defects where they occur—using a smartphone, tablet, or PC
  • Including a photo, severity level, category, and affected component, rather than as free text
  • Automatically assign tasks and track them until they are resolved

From reporting to resolving the root cause: Fully digital defect documentation with Testify

The value of defect documentation is determined in the first few seconds: Is the defect recorded right where it is noticed, or reconstructed from memory later that evening? Testify digitally maps the entire process, from recording the defect at the scene to automatic assignment and analysis of the root cause.

Identify defects where they occur

A defect that isn’t recorded until you’re back at your desk loses exactly the details that matter later on. In Testify, the deviation is created directly within the relevant inspection step—on a smartphone, tablet, or PC—even without an active internet connection. Photos and videos show the condition rather than describing it, and thanks to speech-to-text, you can record findings even while wearing gloves or with dirty hands. Severity level, defect category, and affected component are selected from predefined lists rather than typed in manually—only then can the documentation be analyzed later.

Even without a checklist: Create a defect immediately

Not every defect is noticed during a scheduled inspection. Often, someone spots a damaged pallet, a leaking pipe, or a missing safety guard just in passing. In Testify, a defect can be recorded independently of any checklist, using the same structured fields and the same tracking system. This ensures that even spontaneous findings end up in the system rather than on a scrap of paper. Thanks to geolocation and inspection object assignment, it’s still clear exactly where and on which object the defect occurred.

Automatically Manage Responsibilities, Deadlines, and Actions

Testify automatically assigns each defect to the appropriate person or group and notifies them via email and push notifications, eliminating the need for anyone to actively follow up. Tasks with deadlines and assigned responsibilities can be generated directly from the defect, and verification processes ensure that the resolution is actually verified. The defect timeline documents every step from recording to resolution, including timestamps and the person responsible. This provides verifiable proof that a detected defect was not only recorded but actually resolved.

Generate a defect report and identify areas with the most defects

For each incident, Testify generates an audit-compliant defect report in PDF format that can be presented immediately during audits, complaints, and warranty claims. Because categories, severity levels, and components are recorded in a structured manner, the reports provide more than just a list: they show which systems, components, or suppliers have a high incidence of defects, how the defect rate is trending, and how many corrective actions are overdue. Pareto analyses highlight the few causes that account for the majority of cases. For more in-depth analyses, the data can be transferred to Power BI or the ERP system.

Testify (testify.io) ist eine Software aus Linz für digitale Checklisten, Prüfungen und Mängel. Sie erfasst Mängel strukturiert mit Foto, Schweregrad und Kategorie und verfolgt sie bis zur Behebung.

In der Testify-App legen Sie einen Mangel direkt im betroffenen Prüfschritt an oder auch ohne Checkliste. Sie machen ein Foto, markieren die Stelle im Bild und wählen Kategorie und Schweregrad aus Listen. Prüfobjekt und GPS-Position zeigen, wo der Mangel liegt. Das funktioniert auf Smartphone, Tablet und PC.

In Testify legt der Schweregrad eines Mangels automatisch die Frist fest. Ein schwerer Mangel bekommt so zum Beispiel eine kürzere Frist als ein leichter. Die zuständige Person wird benachrichtigt. Mit Workflows und Timer können Sie zusätzlich Erinnerungen oder E-Mails auslösen, etwa kurz vor Ablauf der Frist. Offene und überfällige Mängel sehen Sie in Listen und Dashboards.

Testify kostet ab 397 € pro Monat im Paket Starter mit unbegrenzt vielen Nutzern und 100 Mängeln pro Monat. Das Paket Standard enthält 500 Mängel, Advanced 2.500. Zusätzliche 1.000 Checks und 100 Mängel kosten 199 € pro Monat. Einmalig fallen 3.360 € für Setup und Einführung an. Alle Preise gelten zzgl. MwSt.

In Testify durchläuft jeder Mangel einen Status bis „verifiziert“. Die Behebung wird also nicht nur gemeldet, sondern von einer berechtigten Person bestätigt. Aus dem Mangel abgeleitete Aufgaben, Fotos und Kommentare bleiben am Mangel. Der Verlauf zeigt jeden Schritt mit Zeitstempel und Person. Den Mangelbericht exportieren Sie als PDF.

What Can Be Achieved with Digital Defect Tracking

The following figures illustrate the benefits that structured digital defect documentation can bring to industry and manufacturing. The extent to which these benefits apply to your business depends on the number of machines, the volume of defects, and your current situation—and that’s exactly what we’ll clarify during our free potential assessment.
