Enhancing Test Automation with T-Plan

Ather, a key player in the Indian EV two-wheeler space, sought a robust test automation solution to enhance the company’s evolution towards intelligent, software-driven mobility solutions.

T-Plan’s software test automation tool provided an efficient, user-centric solution capable of replicating user interactions, extending test durations, and ensuring comprehensive validation of safety-critical components.

This case study explores how Ather leveraged T-Plan to enhance their testing processes, optimize efficiency, and improve safety compliance for their scooter dashboard system.

Market

Electic Vehicle (EV) scooter & two-wheeler manufacturer in India.

The Challenge

Manual testing of “Over-The-Air” (OTA) updates are complex to validate consistently.

Solution

Automation provides reliable validation and quality assurance for the complex OTA testing process.

The Challenge:

Ather specializes in electric two-wheelers, requiring extensive validation for embedded systems and user interfaces. The scooter dashboard, a critical safety component, is often overlooked in testing due to its complex interaction requirements.

The need for a tool that could seamlessly integrate with existing automation while mimicking real-user interactions was paramount.

  • Validate repeatable user action testing.
  • Improve test coverage for safety-critical scooter dashboards.
  • Need for extended testing duration beyond human capability.
  • Support for interacting with Electronic Control Units (ECU‘s).
  • Requirement for a user-focused scripting approach.

The Solution:

T-Plan delivered through the following key capabilities:

  • User Interaction Replication: T-Plan successfully simulated real-user actions, ensuring thorough validation of dashboard functionalities.
  • Extended Testing Duration: The tool operated twice as long as a human tester, significantly increasing test execution time and coverage.
  • ECU Interaction: Seamless integration with ECUs allowed for in-depth hardware-software interaction testing.
  • User-Focused Scripting: T-Plan’s scripting approach enabled engineers to create intuitive and adaptable test scenarios.
  • Safety Compliance Validation: Comprehensive testing ensured that scooter dashboard functionalities met industry safety standards.

Conclusion

T-Plan proved to be an indispensable tool for Ather, enabling efficient, thorough, and safety-compliant automation for scooter dashboard testing. By bridging the gap between existing automation and real-user interactions, T-Plan optimized testing processes, enhanced product reliability, and improved overall quality assurance.

As the automotive industry shifts towards software-defined vehicles, the importance of robust test automation has never been greater. Modern vehicles rely heavily on digital dashboards and user interfaces, making UI/UX testing a crucial factor in ensuring safety, reliability, and user satisfaction.

Why T-Plan

  • Works reliably with ‘non-desktop’ screens & dashboards connected in a complex OTA environment
  • Installs quickly and enables teams to produce scripts in minutes
  • Low-code UI simplifies adoption across QA and operations
  • API connectivity allows tight integration with existing Hardware-in-Loop (HIL). E.g. Dashboard, Switches, Raspberry PI etc.
  • Backed by 25+ years in visual UI test automation and RPA

Results

Automation solves the problems of manual testing by:

  • Consistently validating all the different components (OTA screens, switches, installation logs, ECU CAN data) that would be nearly impossible to check reliably by hand.
  • Eliminating the inefficiency and human errors that come with manual testing.
  • Enabling thorough testing across all edge cases where both hardware and software functionality must be validated together.
