Avoid Warehouse and Inventory Management Mayhem with Software Testing
Time is everything in warehouse and inventory management. One glitch in the warehouse and inventory management system can result in the loss of millions of dollars and disruption in the day-to-day activities of the system. you can avoid all that with the help of quality assurance/software testing.
Crucial aspects of
inventory management
system testing
Data Management
When it comes to automation of tests, our testers can discuss with your cross-functional team to create scenarios and mock data that can be used to check the flow, management, and security of the data. We will also use data from your existing system for the test environment.
Functional Aspects
Functional requirements that are penned down in the SRS document of the software need to be in sync with the implemented or going to get implemented product. However, instead of validating a checklist, we create scenarios for better and more detailed coverage.
Automation
It’s never a good idea to test all the parts of a warehouse/inventory management system all at once. We ensure that different modules of the system will be given separate attention as well as combinatorial attention to ensure maximum coverage
Testing the Human Aspect
From receipt processing, setting our correct shipping information, giving away packaging instructions, giving away loading item information, etc. every aspect of the business that has a human involvement at one must be given much more importance.
Separate Environment
Manual testing environment and automation environment will be always kept different. One test case might not work in another and the time required to modify the existing one is greater than that of creating a new one.
Cross-functional involvement
To test, the information that we gathered might not be enough. We need the participation of people who know in and out of various sections of the company. To carry out effective testing.
End-to-end tests
Even though it’s a good practice to test the app module by module, it’s always good to perform end-to-end tests at specific intervals to ensure that the flow is smooth.
Cloud Testing
A server located at the data center at the farthest point of the globe might behave unexpectedly at any point in time. To keep risk at minimal performance and security testing needs to be done at intervals to keep risks at a minimum.

Our recommendation for warehouse and inventory management system testing
- Testing is not a one-time activity. Performing it often would decrease the risks
- We modify existing test scripts to facilitate swift testing
- Same scenarios and business flow testing should be automated
- Retesting the system whenever there is an enhancement, integration, or code change
- Test results should be validated to ensure the effectiveness of the process
- Exceptional scenarios should also be considered for testing
- Test results should be reviewed periodically and make required changes to the suite if there is any anomaly
- Reports should be detailed and they must be discussed with all the stakeholders as well as the developers.
Advantages of Inventory / WMS Management System Testing
- Gone are those days were timely delivery is the crucial aspect. Customer experience is very crucial and testing ensures it
- Many APIs, automated systems, middlewares, and third-party integrations go into play for a WMS system. Testing ensures harmonious working of all
- Many repetitive processes can be automated to save a ton of QA time
- Testing unravels more details of the system. Its strongholds and weak points
- You can get a better understanding of the system and the flow
- You will always get to keep the risks at a minimum
