Regular software tests are crucial for quality assurance in the further development of warehouse management systems (WMS). To simplify these tests, the Berlin software specialist PSI has developed the first fully configurable test tool for WMS. With the automated test procedure integrated into the PSIwms software, PSI offers a particularly intuitive solution for simulating intralogistics processes.

The functionality of a warehouse must be tested regularly to ensure that, after changes in the WMS or in the intralogistics, all relevant processes run permanently and with consistent quality. It is essential that users can test the system themselves when changes have been made to the intralogistics or a new software release has been installed. The flexibly configurable PSIwms system offers this option.

Christian Welter, Pre Sales BU Logistics at PSI Software SE, emphasizes the ease of use: “We ensure that every user on the customer side can independently test self-configured processes. To do this, we offer a professional test procedure that can be fully configured with minimal programming knowledge. That is a unique selling point.”

In an automated test in PSIwms, physical or software-based processes are checked for functionality and accuracy. Test cases defined in the program serve as the basis for this. These test suites can be used in all logistics areas, from goods receipt and picking to high-priority notifications. Even rarely used special processes such as complex cross-docking variants are checked. All predefined test cases are regularly and automatically simulated on the basis of a test database that maps the warehouse. This means, for example, that hundreds of incoming deliveries with different control parameters can be virtually received, transferred, picked and shipped within a few minutes. The program uncovers any potential need for action without affecting the physical warehouse.
