Interoperability Testing

Save significant amounts of effort & cost while keeping your standard of experience high
Interoperability Testing
Smart In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems deliver an intuitive, appealing and fully connected lifestyle, transforming the in-vehicle experience. Vehicle infotainment, navigation, mobile device and telematics can be synchronized to provide a coherent system and a simple interface for the driver. Ensuring that all these components work together is complex since the operation needs to be assured against a background of software updates for mobile communications platforms such as Android and iOS, Automotive Projection Modes (Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and BAIDU CarLife), and interoperability with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and USB standards.
