IT System Testing

Railport Group supports rail terminals, intermodal terminals, inland depots and TOS vendors with comprehensive QA and testing services for Terminal Operating Systems (TOS) and related IT applications.​

​

Drawing on more than 15 years of experience, and a library of extensive test cases and scenarios developed through 50 IT/TOS procurement projects and 35+ TOS implementations, we ensure that systems are tested thoroughly, consistently and in alignment with operational realities.​

​

Test Case Definition und Documentation​

We define and document user-focused test cases across all test types and levels. This includes:​

  • Identifying key business and operational risks​
  • Defining success criteria and measurable KPIs​
  • Mapping process dependencies, data flows and exception paths​

​

​

Test Data Construction​

We prepare the required test data for each testing phase, including:​

  • Cargo unit types (containers, trailers, swap bodies, etc.)​
  • Master data (rail schedules, equipment, CHE, facilities)​
  • Bookings, orders, and status data​

​

Functionality Testing (Isolated Operational Functions)​

We ensure that all required functionalities are provided in the TOS — including features that may be part of the standard system but not explicitly listed in the procurement contract.​

​

This includes verifying that operators can perform core processes such as:​

  • Rail and yard planning​
  • Job creation and dispatching in the correct operational sequence​
  • Full data entry, validation and updates​
  • Correct reporting and output quality​
  • Rule sets for cargo status changes (e.g., customs or regulatory statuses)​

​

Cross-Module Functionality Testing​

We verify that all data, documentation, operational plans, events and job dispatches correctly flow across TOS modules.​

​

This ensures that:​

  • Every cargo movement​
  • Every unit status change​
  • Every operational event​
  • Every special service (VAS)​

is captured accurately for documentation, reporting and billing.​

​

Integration Testing​

We evaluate the quality and reliability of integrations between the TOS and external systems, including:​

  • ERP and accounting systems​
  • Asset management and maintenance systems​
  • Remote monitoring platforms​
  • DGPS / positioning systems​
  • Third-party GOS and OCR solutions (gate, rail, crane)Other mission-critical applications​

​

Live Operations Testing​

We identify issues that only surface under real operational conditions, including:​

  • Full-load performance​
  • Real-time dispatching​
  • Concurrent user operations​
  • High-volume data exchange​

​

Additionally, we validate:​

  • Newly implemented SOPs​
  • Operational workflows​
  • Staff performance across different operational scenarios​
