How Titan’s Template-Driven Approach Simplifies Multi-Product Line Test Management

Engineering teams working across multiple product lines often struggle to maintain consistency, traceability, and efficiency in their testing processes. With test data scattered and workflows differing from one team to another, the risk of inefficiencies and compliance gaps increases significantly.

Titan is a comprehensive test management tool that supports end-to-end lifecycle management, offering a unified solution for every phase—from planning and scheduling to execution, result capture, and reporting. At the core of this structured approach lies Titan’s Development Template  framework: a dynamic, built-in repository that standardizes test processes across teams and product lines. It enables consistency, scalability, and complete traceability by transforming disconnected workflows into streamlined, auditable test operations.

From Fragmentation to Flow: The Role of Development Templates in Titan

Titan’s Development Template is a centralized, dynamic framework that consolidates requirements, test cases, and procedures into reusable, product-specific structures. By aligning templates to each product line, teams can quickly initiate fully pre-configured test projects—eliminating redundant setup and ensuring consistency across departments.

For example, a component manufacturer in the marine industry uses Titan to manage a diverse portfolio by defining Development Templates for each product line. These templates include comprehensive test catalogs with standard procedures typically conducted for that product line. As a result, teams launch test projects in minutes with minimal manual effort. Unlike static tools like Word or Excel—or disconnected PLM, test, and lab systems—Titan’s templates are fully integrated. They don’t just store information; they actively drive planning, execution, reporting, and compliance tracking from day one. This approach accelerates project kickoff, fosters cross-functional alignment, and delivers a repeatable, traceable process across the entire test lifecycle

How It Works

Titan transforms how engineering teams plan and execute testing by embedding repeatability, traceability, and control into every project—starting with the Development Template.

Step 1: Define Product-Specific Development Templates

Create a named Development Template to represent a product line or testing strategy. This template becomes a container for all associated requirements, test cases, test procedures, and resources—offering a repeatable blueprint for standardized, compliant testing.
Each template is version-controlled, ensuring teams always work from the latest approved process—crucial for regulated industries and high-volume product lines.

Step 2: Populate with Requirements, Test Cases, and Test Procedures

Titan supports many-to-many relationships between requirements, test cases, and procedures—enabling rich traceability and reuse across your testing lifecycle.

• Requirements
  Capture verification intent and link requirements to test cases and procedures for full compliance visibility. Each requirement stores validation data and can be reused across projects.
• Test Cases
  Define the logic and conditions for validating product behavior. Reusable across projects, test cases include steps, parameters, goals, and references to ensure consistent application.
• Test Procedures
  At the heart of the Development Template, Test Procedures serve as detailed, reusable execution blueprints. Unlike static documents, they are dynamic—central updates propagate automatically to all associated projects, reducing manual effort and maintaining alignment.

Key Features of Test Procedures:

• Define standards, goals, and pass/fail criteria to align testing with internal and regulatory benchmarks.
• Specify equipment and facility needs to optimize resource usage and avoid conflicts.
• Assign roles and experts to promote accountability and precision.
• Integrated checklists guide testers through every phase—pre-test, setup, execution, and wrap-up—with embedded work instructions, rich real-time data capture including photos, observations, and measurements, and automated progress tracking to ensure completeness and support audit readiness
• Automated reporting using predefined templates. Each report pulls data directly from executed tests—complete with cover pages, branding, and formatting—reducing manual compilation and ensuring consistency for reviews or audits.

Step 3: Launch Lifecycle-Ready Test Projects

With Development Templates in place, launching a new project—whether a complete verification plan or a one-off test request—is just a click away. Titan auto-populates each project with the relevant requirements, test cases, and procedures based on the selected template.

But Titan doesn’t stop at setup—it delivers a fully orchestrated test environment:

• Plan and track test milestones, builds and phases and visualize them in the calendar
• Submit, prioritize, and manage test requests and DVPs
• Configure and track test articles from build to retirement
• Use a centralized calendar to coordinate lab, equipment, and personnel availability
• Define lab capabilities and constraints in advance
• Manage work orders, tasks, and deliverables seamlessly
• Handle inventory, equipment, and issue tracking within the same environment
• Maintain centralized access to control documents, SOPs, and compliance checklists
• Generate automated KPI dashboards and reports with real-time insights
• Monitor status and priorities using personalized home dashboards

With every module—from planning to execution to reporting—fully integrated, data flows effortlessly, reducing redundancy and eliminating silos. The result?

Faster launches. Tighter coordination. Full traceability.

Why This Matters

If your organization handles multiple product lines—whether ECUs, battery systems, seats, engine parts, or any other components—Titan empowers your teams to:

• Reuse Development Templates across projects to standardize execution while adapting to product-specific needs.
• Achieve true end-to-end traceability—from requirement through test planning, execution, and final results.
• Accelerate project kickoff with pre-configured, lifecycle-ready templates.
• Foster collaboration across engineering, lab, and quality teams with shared context and aligned workflows.
• Minimize errors and reduce rework by eliminating disconnected documents, manual steps, and tribal knowledge.

With Titan, you’re not just managing isolated projects—you’re managing a repeatable, scalable process that delivers consistent quality and faster time-to-market.

Final Thoughts

Managing testing across diverse product lines doesn’t have to mean juggling multiple disconnected systems. Titan’s template-driven foundation lets you unify all your product lines under one standardized and scalable platform.

Unify your test strategy. Simplify execution. Scale your product portfolio. All with Titan.
