Automated alert systems have been seen as an important component of Warehouse monitoring in the recent times. Owners of warehouses would like to have their facilities monitored through automation so that the personnel monitoring the various parameters related to Warehouse maintenance need not keep manually monitoring them 24×7. How do we do Warehouse Software Testing?
These kind of solutions are gaining traction all over the world, and hence testing of these solutions has become important. Technologies like IoT and API are used in these kind of solutions, so Software Testing professionals need to be familiar with interfacing with micro-hardware systems and web services.
We live in an exciting world where the tradition of logistics is getting revitalised through modern technology. The success of this endeavor will dependent on how effectively we test these systems and manage Quality, so that failures can be brought down and customers can expand their digital footprint to other services in the Warehouse. In these days of constant disruption in the Logistics and Supply Chain industry, it is all the more important to keep the systems up and running with superior quality to make sure that B2B and B2C communications are happening without issues, and customers are updated about their products and supply chain in a timely fashion.
A recent example is the installation of IoT in the shipping containers to track their location, so that customers know where their shipment is. This is enabled by onboard software that talks to the IoT devices, whose information is then relayed to remote monitoring servers through satellites. Same with warehouses, where IoT devices track the merchantise. Great stuff, and we got to be testing them to make sure that they are working okay.
