25. Validation Services – Automated Framework Mechanism
Test Automation Framework
The testing framework runs on PC and mobile device is
Remote Testing connected through a message router. This mode helps in
testing of multiple device interaction scenarios effectively.
This mode allows easy execution of test scripts on the
Standalone device. Record and play facility further enhances the
Testing capability through generation of reusable test scenarios,
directly on the device.
The Test Automation Framework can be used for comprehensive testing
of devices that are based on various OS-es like Android, Windows Mobile
etc for key test activities like Functional, Performance, Stress,
Regression and Stability scenarios automated.

27. Case Studies – GUI based factory test and restore application for Hyundai
MOBIS
GUI based factory test and restore application for Hyundai MOBIS (HACO) for
Hyundai’s in-vehicle infotainment devices running in Microsoft Windows CE
operating system.
This application would be used by the Service engineers where if the in-vehicle
infotainment system had any issues then the Diagnostic application developed by
AMI would run and would test all the available peripherals for sanity and then
logging the output results.
Also the application provides support for
1. Automatic format of the device’s hard disk,
2. create new partition's and
3. restore the factory default operating system image to the in-vehicle system.
