Automotive
A Large Automotive Company, a global leader in vehicle manufacturing and technology, faced significant challenges in testing their advanced infotainment systems.
Vision-first automation
The Large Automotive Company partnered with AskUI to implement a comprehensive test automation strategy for their infotainment systems.
80% time saved
80% reduction in overall testing time
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:
- Platform-Independent Framework: AskUI's visual selector-based UI automation framework allowed testing across different operating systems and devices.
- 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.
- Natural Language Instructions: Tests could be written in "UI language," making them easy to understand and maintain.
- OS-Level Control: AskUI executed instructions via mouse and keyboard control at the operating system level, simulating real user interactions.
- 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
- Cross-Platform Testing: AskUI enabled seamless testing across different infotainment models and operating systems.
- Stability: Tests remained stable despite UI changes, as AskUI's AI adapts to visual modifications.
- Ease of Use: The intuitive nature of AskUI allowed non-technical team members to contribute to test creation and maintenance.
- Future-Proofing: AskUI's approach made the automation solution resilient to future technology changes in infotainment systems.
- Comprehensive Coverage: The ability to test across platforms and simulate real user interactions improved overall test coverage.
