Test with confidence. Deploy with Certainty.

Your utility relies on a complex network of mission-critical systems — from advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and billing to meter data management and customer portals — often sourced from multiple vendors. Even a small system change, upgrade, or patch can create unexpected issues if not properly tested.  Whether you need short-term support or full lifecycle testing, we provide the expertise and proven processes to help your teams implement system changes with confidence.

  • Reduce project risk with proven testing methodologies
  • Streamline upgrades and deployments with expert guidance
  • Ensure seamless integration across platforms and vendors
  • Empower your teams with flexible, scalable testing support

Test with Confidence

We follow a structured, collaborative approach to ensure your systems are tested thoroughly and effectively. From developing test scripts to generating data and executing tests, we deliver accurate results that reduce risk and build confidence in every deployment.

  • Develop Test Scripts

    Util-Assist works with your utility to gather functional, integration, and performance requirements. We use those requirements to create use
    cases that capture your utility’s needs and configure the testing application appropriately.

  • Create Test Data

    Systems that are not yet in production will not yet have the links to the key data sources that they need for full operation. We have the tools to easily generate sample data to use in testing pre-release software.

  • Execute Tests

    Even well-designed test cases benefit from an experienced hand running the test. We execute the test scripts and document the results and
    recommendations in clear reports for your project team and decision makers.

Proven Expertise across Utility Systems

We bring deep, hands-on experience across the systems that are critical to utility operations. By understanding the unique requirements and interactions of these platforms, we ensure seamless integration, reliable performance, and confident deployments for your utility.

  • Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI)

    We test AMI systems to ensure accurate data collection, seamless device integration, and reliable communication across your network.

  • Meter data management (MDM) systems

    Our expertise in MDM testing validates data accuracy, scalability, and performance so your utility can make confident, data-driven decisions.

  • Customer information systems (CIS)

    We test CIS platforms to confirm smooth billing, customer service, and account management processes that keep your operations running efficiently.
