Automating and accelerating test cases for a leading European truck manufacturer

About the client

The European truck manufacturing company is a global technology leader in the design and
manufacturing of premium quality light, medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles

At a glance

In the current automotive environment, connected vehicles are not just the need of the moment but are paving the way of the future. A European truck manufacturer collaborated with Atos for GenAI-powered test case generation on a connected vehicles platform to improve its time to market and reduce costs.

Outcomes

20–25% early defect identification
95% regression automation of 2,000+ test cases through Atos Polaris AI Testing Platform
50% productivity improvement in automation scripting
20% cost reduction in overall QA
2x faster time to market

Challenges

A bumpy ride

The European truck manufacturer was facing a challenge with its high rollout time for connected vehicles, making it uncompetitive in the market. Relatively high costs translated into lesser budgets for new features in the connected vehicle platform. Other challenges included:

Only 10% UI and API test automation
Distributed domain, functional and technical knowledge among teams
23% - 25% functional defect leakage in UAT

The client was looking to execute a 4000+ regression functional suite in a short testing window, but this was difficult in view of the business-driven constraints.

Solution

Getting the show on the road

Partnering with Atos, the client was presented with a proposal to implement Atos Polaris AI testing module. This platform aligns with the connected vehicle platform rollouts, and is enriched with IoT domain and functional knowledge.
Atos implemented an inbuilt GenAI automation framework for automation scripting through a selenium framework. The team also planned automated regression for SIT and UAT test cycles.
