Most teams keep their test procedures in Word tables and Excel sheets. That works until someone asks six months later what was tested on serial number 0042 – then the answers sit scattered across spreadsheets, emails and people’s heads. XPressRT turns the test procedure into an audit-ready record per unit: worked through step by step, each reading checked against its limit, while you test, not afterwards.
The difference
What Excel can't do when testing a device
Measured value against limit
Excel stores the number but doesn’t check it. XPressRT compares every reading in the run against its limit and records pass or fail.
One record per serial number
Instead of one table for all units, each device gets a readable document – with serial number, firmware state, tester and date.
Guided through the procedure
The tester is guided step by step. No field is forgotten, no order slips, no sheet is left half filled in.
A finding, not a red cell
When a value is off, the tester records the finding with conditions and reproduction – evidenced on the report, not just colour-coded.
Migration
Your Word and Excel test procedures come along
Nobody starts from scratch. Give one of your existing documents to your AI assistant – Claude, Copilot, whatever you already use – and ten minutes later it stands as a test procedure in XPressRT: steps, limits, data points. The assistant runs at your end, not ours. You review and release; that is at the same time the review your process requires anyway. The source file stays attached to the imported test case, so it is provable at any time that a case comes from a released document.
Growth path
Start by hand, automate later
The same record first runs by hand and later automated – a device takes over individual steps, the rest stays with the operator, in the same run. It stays the same test case, without rewriting it. More on the XPressRT page.

Frequently asked questions about test protocol software
Can I replace my Excel test protocol?
Yes. You give your existing Word and Excel test procedures to your AI assistant – which runs at your end, not ours – and minutes later they stand as a test procedure in XPressRT. You review and release, after which each unit gets an audit-ready record instead of a shared table.
What can test protocol software do that Excel cannot?
It guides the tester through the procedure, automatically compares every reading against its limit and keeps a readable document per serial number with firmware state, tester and date – including documented findings for deviations.
Does every device get its own test record?
Yes. Each tested unit produces a document a third party can read – with serial number, firmware, measured values against limits, tester and time.
Can I import existing procedures from Word or Excel?
Yes. You give the document to your AI assistant – which runs at your end, not ours – and get steps, limits and instruments proposed for confirmation. The source file stays attached to the test case, so its origin remains provable.
Is the test protocol software free?
Creating procedures, testing by hand and documenting is permanently free, without an account. You only pay once you connect instruments, run XPressRT as your own instance, or want to prove something formally to a third party.
Run test procedures, don't just file them
XPressRT runs your test on the device and records the evidence as it goes – an audit-ready record per serial number. In the browser, no installation and no account. Open it and create a procedure right away.
