In every release, the same things are tested by hand, screenshots move into documents, and by the time the manual is finished, the process has already changed again.

Who it’s forTest managers, key users, quality management and everyone who writes manuals.
WhatTest case, test run, signed test evidence and user manual from one source.
HowTest cases are attached to the step; screenshots are taken in the test run; they produce the signed evidence and the manual.
WhyUntil now, the same thing was written three times – in the test, in the evidence and in the manual. Now once.

Five steps, one place

In TAOM, test cases are attached to the process step. In the test run, the tester takes a screenshot for each test step – of the whole screen, a window, a tab or just a section. This produces the test evidence, which the responsible roles sign digitally. Every change after approval creates a new version.

Test case at the stepDescribed once.
Test runWith a screenshot per test step.
Test evidenceDigitally signed, with SHA-256.
ManualOne chapter per process step.
ViewerThe approved version for everyone.

Who signs – and who may test

The evidence is signed digitally in sequence by the responsible roles from the project organisation, each signature confirmed with a password. The end result is a signed version with a document seal that anyone can verify on taom.ai.

Anyone who only tests does not need an AI tier: Testing & verification is an add-on licence per tester. That way, a hundred testers can report results without ever changing a diagram.

The manual follows the model

The user manual has one chapter per process step: context with role and system, plus the instructions with action, sample data, result and the screenshot from the last passed test run. You control what does not belong in the manual via field control.

What it saves

The sample calculation on taom.ai for an initiative with 30 test cases arrives at around 110 person-hours less – almost 70 per cent. It is a calculation with disclosed assumptions, not a measurement. Check it with your own figures.

In short

Test case, evidence and manual come from the same source. What is recorded once at the step is not written again – and the manual is as current as the last passed test.
