Shipping, Marine and Mining Exploration Software Testing

In shipping, marine, and mining non-productive time (NPT) of the equipment used is an important quality metric due to high costs of every minute that machinery and ships are not working. With software playing an ever larger role in the control of large equipment, improving software quality will significantly help you to lower your NPT. Vessel and port management software has little tolerance for error, not only in safety but in operations where small mistakes can lead to delays or downtime costing millions. Likewise, mining equipment has a high cost of ineffective operation with millions at stake if errors occur.

At XBOSoft, our experience in testing shipping, marine, and mining support software has given us an understanding of the importance of lowering NPT and how software’s quality can impact it. As such, our Quality Process Assessment (QPA) and Test Process Improvement (TPI) has been customized for the marine and mining industry so it is specifically geared towards lowering NPT in ship management, marine and mining software.
