The Brief

Cyient DLM's testing teams — running In-Circuit Tests, Functional Tests, Automatic Tests, and other quality checks — were capturing results manually, a process that's slow, error-prone, and hard to audit at scale. Empedance was brought in to build an internal system that could digitise this entire data-feeding workflow: standardised forms for test entry, a searchable record of every submission, and the admin controls needed to manage who can see and do what.

Discovery & Research

The starting point was understanding the existing paper-based process — what fields each test result needs, including serial numbers, test dates, customer and product names, pass/fail outcomes, rework details, and personnel sign-off. The team also identified the main issues: duplicate entries, illegible handwriting, difficulty searching past results, and no clear record of who submitted or approved each entry.

This led to three system requirements: a clean, structured data-entry form that mirrors existing paperwork for easy adoption; a central submitted-data view with searchable and auditable records; and role-based access so admins can manage users and permissions without engineering involvement.

Design Process

The interface was designed for clarity and speed, helping test operators log results quickly and accurately between tests. A left-hand navigation groups related test types (ICT, FCT, ATE, JTAG, EOL) under one dashboard, while the data-entry form uses a clean grid layout that matches the fields testers already know from paper forms, reducing training time.

For submitted data, both operator and admin roles use filtered, sortable tables so records can be retrieved by date, customer, or product. The admin view includes additional columns and controls, while a dedicated settings area makes role management and light/dark theme selection straightforward.

Engineering & Build

  • React
  • Next.js
  • Responsive Web Design

Empedance's part of the build focused on:

  • A dashboard with test-category navigation (ICT, FCT, ATE, JTAG, EOL), bringing every test type into one consistent system.
  • A structured test-submission form replacing manual paper entry, with validation for required fields.
  • Submitted-data views for standard users and admins, including search, filtering, and pagination over test records.
  • An admin settings panel for role management, including inviting users, assigning roles, and revoking access, plus an interface theme toggle.

Result & Impact

The new system replaced fragmented manual record-keeping with a structured, searchable workflow.
