Testing Services for Automotive
Over the last 100 years, the automobile has transformed from a mechanical device into an integrated machine with embedded software in all major systems such as engine control, power train, suspension, braking, and entertainment. To manufacture the next generation of innovative vehicles with high quality and free of defects, automotive OEMs need a strong testing infrastructure. HARMAN has experience and competency in both automotive and software industries to validate and certify standards across the Automotive supply chain and consumer markets.

Consistency and Reliability in Software development

​Controlling the cost of embedded systems is extremely important for automotive industry because the volume is much higher when compared to other safety-critical industries. Though software testing has traditionally been viewed as expensive activity, finding software bugs before a product is released is the key to reducing costs associated with product recalls and any would protect the brand image.  This makes continuous integration and testing a necessity for the automotive industry.

Statistics show that more than 50 percent of automotive recalls can now be attributed to software issues, and not mechanical ones. With an industry average of 8 bugs per thousand lines of code, and the average connected car having 100 million lines of code or more, software quality needs to be a top priority for automotive OEMs. HARMAN enables automakers to efficiently build test frameworks and perform tests on all their application components.
