Automotive
Test Management

Test concepts. Structured validation. OEM-proven methods.

For more than 15 years, we have been supporting OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers in the structured and transparent management of test activities within complex automotive projects.
 

We develop clear test concepts, robust test strategies, and technically sound test management approaches — providing both conceptual guidance and hands-on implementation within ongoing projects.

Test Concepts & Test Strategies

Test concepts structure test objectives, priorities, and scope in line with risk exposure, system responsibility, and project goals. The derivation is applied consistently across all test levels. Functional safety, SOTIF, and cybersecurity are integral elements of the overall strategy.

Operational Test Management

Operational test management governs the planning, prioritisation, and execution of test activities within the project. Dependencies, results, and decisions are made transparent and coordinated. Control is aligned with development, system responsibility, and external partners.

Project Support & Method Coaching

Project support and coaching strengthen teams in establishing sustainable test structures. The focus lies on methodological decision-making capability in day-to-day project work. OEM requirements, organisational structures, and regulatory boundary conditions are deliberately taken into account.

Methodological clarity, operational experience, and structured test control
based on established automotive standards (ISO 26262, SOTIF, ASPICE, Cybersecurity).

ADAS & System Validation

ADAS and system validation are based on scenarios, ODD references, and clearly defined system boundaries. Tests are derived from functional requirements, safety objectives, and risks. Functional safety and SOTIF are addressed in an integrated manner.

Requirements & Interface Management

Requirements and interface management creates the foundation for robust testability. Requirements, responsibilities, and dependencies are structured and consistently linked. The objective is practical traceability for decisions and objective evidence.

Supplier & Team Coordination

Supplier and team coordination ensures consistent test validation across organisational boundaries. Test strategies and results are aligned between OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and partners. Clear responsibilities reduce friction and inefficiencies within the project.

Our Approach

How we deliver effective test management in complex projects
Focus.png

01.

Accountability over Handoffs

We take clear and traceable responsibility for test management topics — without operational breaks, gaps in ownership, or “passing things on.” Decisions and actions are clearly assigned and remain accountable.

02.

Decisions before Documentation

Documentation is a result, not an end in itself. Our focus is on robust and well-founded decision bases for projects, management, and approvals — goal-oriented, prioritised, and traceable.

03.

Structure before Tools

Before introducing tools, templates, or processes, we establish clarity on objectives, roles, interfaces, and responsibilities. Tools support existing structures — they do not replace them.

04.

Transparency across All Levels

We ensure a consistent view of test status, risks, and dependencies — from the operational level through to management. Not more information, but the right information at the right time.

05.

Practice before Methodology

We apply methods, standards, and frameworks where they provide concrete value to the project. The benchmark is always feasibility in the real project context — not methodological completeness.

Our approach makes test management actionable —
technically sound, structured, and effective in day-to-day project work.
