Contact us to talk about how the right solution for your test infrastructure can make your business more resilient, efficient and customer focused.
The
Challenge
The development of modern infotainment systems is fast-paced and highly complex. At the same time, the automotive industry is required to meet strict deadlines and maintain the highest quality standards. To ensure this, it is essential that testers and function owners always have access to the latest software and hardware versions for validation
The
Solution
Our experts maintain close and continuous communication with software owners, function owners, and resident engineers responsible for control units to stay fully up to date regarding software quality, release status, and required workarounds. As part of this process, complete system networks are updated (e.g., multiple interconnected control units within a system such as Connect involving 4–5 ECUs) to ensure full functionality. In addition to software updates, we also assess whether hardware updates are required and replace components accordingly when necessary. Where feasible, further enhancements can be implemented, such as remote flashing or even automated flashing processes, depending on the capabilities of the existing infrastructure.
The Benefit
Delivered
Through our work, test benches and test vehicles are consistently maintained at the latest configuration levels. This enables function owners and testers to fully focus on validating their systems without being impacted by setup or update-related issues. Workarounds are centrally managed and executed, while challenges and lessons learned from flashing processes and feature provisioning are systematically documented and shared across a comprehensive knowledge base. As a result, downtime of individual test environments during update phases is minimized, and test blockers can be more clearly attributed to actual software quality issues. Overall, this significantly increases the efficiency and effectiveness of the entire team.
