Automotive Testing and Certification Services

Efficiently build testing frameworks and perform tests on all automotive software applications
Testing and Certification Services for Automotive
Today, there is intense focus on the quality of Automotive software ensuring both safety and reliability. The cost of detecting and fixing defects increases exponentially with time in the software development lifecycle, which means OEMs need to adapt a “detect early - detect often” mechanism.

​HARMAN Automotive Engineering Services (AES) have 700+ Test professionals including 150+ ISTQB (International Software Testing Qualifications Board) certified. We have presence in the major manufacturing markets, including India and China. Our exhaustive​ test library, experience of executing multiple production programs and automation first strategy helps in producing shorter system test cycles and better quality.


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.
 
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 more than 100 million lines of code, 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.
