Built for rail testing & commissioning

Your test evidence. Captured on site. Attached to your reports — automatically.

TestTraces is the mobile and web platform that solves the photo evidence gap in rail T&C — complementing Hexagon, Aconex, and SharePoint with voice-first field capture, structured evidence organisation, and test-report-ready exports.

Built by a rail T&C engineer with experience on major Australian infrastructure projects. Designed to complement your existing T&C platform — not replace it.

Major rail programs active now across Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne

No purpose-built tool exists for T&C photo evidence in Australia

Hours saved per submission vs manual photo assembly into document management systems

The photo evidence gap no enterprise tool has solved

Hexagon manages your test records. Aconex manages your documents. Neither was built for what happens in an equipment room at 6am with gloves on.

Photos dumped into a Teams chat

On a test day, every engineer captures photos on their own device and posts them to a group chat. Days later, one person manually assembles them into dated folders and attaches them to test reports in Aconex or SharePoint — if it happens at all.

GPS fails exactly where you need it

Underground platforms, equipment rooms, tunnels — your phone's GPS puts every photo at the same coordinate. When the principal asks for location-specific evidence, you're searching by memory.

Evidence attachments built from scratch every time

Assembling a SAT submission means sorting photos from five camera rolls, naming files correctly, creating dated folder structures, and attaching them to the right test report revision. It takes hours it shouldn't.

Not a replacement. A complement.

Your enterprise T&C platform manages test records, defects, and asset hierarchies. TestTraces handles what it was never designed for — fast, structured photo evidence capture in the field, organised the way your test reports expect, and exported in a format that attaches directly to your document management system.

Works alongside Hexagon, Aconex, SharePoint, and Team Binder

Asset → System → Test Case hierarchy built in

Exports attach directly to your test report revisions

Structured evidence. From capture to submission.

Voice capture on site — no typing required

Hold the mic and describe what you're testing. "Phase 1 platform, CCTV SAT, camera above southern turnstile, passed." TestTraces extracts the asset, system, test type, and result using AI. Works fully offline in tunnels, equipment rooms, and anywhere without signal.

Your test structure, pre-loaded

Import your project's asset and system hierarchy from a CSV export of your T&C platform. No manual setup for field engineers — they open the app and the dropdowns match the structure in their test document exactly.

Test report attachments — ready to upload

Every export is a dated folder structure organised by system and test phase, ready to attach to the correct test report revision in Aconex, SharePoint, or Team Binder. Each revision gets its own attachment set. Full history preserved.

Traceability that lasts 5 years — not 5 days.

When a test report is revised, new photos become new attachments with new dates — automatically versioned and linked to the correct revision. Five years from now, anyone opening that test report will find every photo from every revision, correctly dated and structured. No manual filing. No missing evidence.

Rev A photos → Rev A attachment, dated at time of test

Rev B photos → Rev B attachment, new date, new evidence set

Full revision history preserved in your document management system

Mobile in the field. Web at your desk.

One backend. Everything your field team captures on site appears in the web portal instantly.

Import your project structure

Your T&C Manager imports the asset, system, and location hierarchy from your existing T&C platform. Done once. Every engineer inherits the same structure.

Capture on site with your voice

Point, hold mic, describe the test. AI extracts asset, system, test type, and result. Photo is tagged and queued for sync before you move to the next location.

Review in the web portal

Your T&C Manager reviews the evidence library filtered by phase, system, or result. Flag anything needing a re-test or additional photos before submission.

Export and attach to your test report

One tap generates a dated folder structure ready to attach to the correct report revision in Aconex, SharePoint, or Team Binder. No file renaming. No manual assembly.

Built for everyone in the T&C workflow

T&C Field Engineers

Capture test evidence in seconds without stopping to type. Your photos are tagged with asset, system, test type, and phase before you move to the next location. Works offline, everywhere on site.

T&C Managers

Set up the project structure once. Review phase completion and evidence quality from your browser. Export submission-ready attachment packages without chasing anyone's camera roll.

T&C Package Managers

Full visibility across systems, phases, and locations. Evidence packages structured for principal submission, linked to the correct test report revision, with a complete audit trail.

Built from conversations on active Australian projects

"The pain point is labelling photos on the spot. Sometimes you take a photo for a reason you forget a few days later — and it could be critical evidence."

— T&C Engineer, major Queensland rail project

"We post photos to a Teams chat during the test day. After the test I upload everything to SharePoint. If I need a specific one, I search keywords I put in the chat."

— Systems Engineer, Australian rail infrastructure

"You don't need a standalone tool. Integrate or complement what's there. As long as you're spinning out an organised structure."

— T&C Package Manager, major Australian rail project

"For T&C, take photos as you want and make them part of the test report — as attachments, folder named with date of test. Even after five years, if someone opens the test report they'll find the photos in each revision."

— Client representative, Sydney Metro
