Challenge

A large mobile OEM tested each software release on many device models before launch.

Manual testing took weeks and delayed software updates to customers:

Weeks of manual testing per release.
Many device models and configurations.
Delayed software updates.
Repetitive test execution.

The OEM needed to shorten test cycles without reducing quality.

Solution

Winklix automated device testing using its embedded test automation platform.

Device farm

Devices were connected to an automated test farm.

Automated suites

Core functional, regression and stability tests were automated.

Parallel execution

Tests run in parallel across devices to shorten cycles.

Reporting

Consolidated reports highlight failures by device and build.
