Automating automotive IVI software testing

Automating quality assurance testing for in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems requires an automation tool to test the user interface accurately. This tool should leverage image and optical character recognition to emulate end-user actions for digital displays, climate control, radio stations, and other system functions. An effective automated software testing solution should also integrate with any IVI system via multiple connection capabilities, such as mobile gateways.

The automated solution should use a mobile gateway connection to validate IVI functionality, device connectivity, dynamic user interface elements, and end-user interactions without installing any software. Connecting via mobile gateways offers secure remote access capabilities. This process establishes a secure environment, enabling testers to execute comprehensive test scenarios.

Automated IVI testing solution

Ensuring system validation and reliable operation of IVI devices is a complex task that demands a flexible test automation solution. Keysight Eggplant Test operates at the graphical user interface (GUI) level. It offers interface connectivity capabilities such as mobile gateways, eliminating the need for software installation. This flexibility enables its use across IVIs built with different operating systems and technologies, overcoming device restrictions and security concerns.

Keysight Eggplant Test uses artificial intelligence (AI) computer vision to validate dynamic visual GUI elements, such as navigation maps and media players. This capability enables tests to interact with the IVI system as an end user would without relying on object identifiers. The model-based approach of Keysight Eggplant Test enables automated exploratory testing, increasing test coverage and effectively identifying bugs by prioritizing areas prone to defects.
