Case Study: Leading Global Automobile Manufacturing Company achieves earlier defect detection and safer vehicle validation with Cognizant

Early Detection of Defects Is Driving Force Behind Better Safety

A leading global automobile manufacturing company needed a faster, less costly way to validate the growing electronic functionality in its vehicles. Its manual testing approach was time-intensive and expensive, making it harder to keep up with new features and ensure safety and quality, so it turned to Cognizant for help.

Cognizant implemented its Hardware-in-Loop Automation Test Suite (HATS) framework to automate vehicle testing with real-time measurements, automated reporting, defect tracking, and mixed-mode validation. The result was a 200% increase in validation coverage productivity, a return on investment in 4 months, 5X more defects found more than 4 months earlier, and $500,000 in annual overhead savings.
