    The company

    Who this is about.

    This customer is a large automotive manufacturer whose infotainment systems span voice recognition, smartphone integration, navigation, entertainment and vehicle diagnostics. The name is withheld under the programme's confidentiality terms.

    Infotainment is where automotive delivery pressure concentrates: cockpit variants multiply across models and markets while launch dates stay fixed. Manual testing was stretching development cycles and letting bugs surface late, exactly where they are most expensive for the programme.

    The Challenge

    The Large Automotive Company's infotainment systems incorporated sophisticated features such as:

    • Voice recognition
    • Smartphone integration
    • Navigation systems
    • Entertainment apps
    • Vehicle diagnostics

    Manual testing was proving inadequate, leading to:

    • Extended development cycles
    • Inconsistent test results
    • Difficulty in reproducing complex scenarios
    • Increased costs due to late-stage bug detection

    The AskUI Solution

    The Large Automotive Company partnered with AskUI to implement a comprehensive test automation strategy for their infotainment systems.

    Key components of the AskUI solution:

    1. Platform-Independent Framework: AskUI's visual selector-based UI automation framework allowed testing across different operating systems and devices.
    2. AI-Powered Element Detection: AskUI's neural network, trained on UI element appearances, could localize elements based on screenshots, enabling testing without reliance on code selectors.
    3. Natural Language Instructions: Tests could be written in "UI language," making them easy to understand and maintain.
    4. OS-Level Control: AskUI executed instructions via mouse and keyboard control at the operating system level, simulating real user interactions.
    5. Visual Regression Testing: The AI model could detect visual changes and layout issues, enhancing the quality assurance process.

    Results

    After implementing the AskUI automation solution, the Large Automotive Company experienced significant improvements:

    • 80% reduction in overall testing time
    • 95% decrease in manual testing efforts for regression testing
    • 70% improvement in bug detection during early development stages
    • 40% faster time-to-market for new infotainment features

    Long-term Benefits

    1. Cross-Platform Testing: AskUI enabled seamless testing across different infotainment models and operating systems.
    2. Stability: Tests remained stable despite UI changes, as AskUI's AI adapts to visual modifications.
    3. Ease of Use: The intuitive nature of AskUI allowed non-technical team members to contribute to test creation and maintenance.
    4. Future-Proofing: AskUI's approach made the automation solution resilient to future technology changes in infotainment systems.
    5. Comprehensive Coverage: The ability to test across platforms and simulate real user interactions improved overall test coverage.
