Why Squish for Android Automotive?

The modern vehicle cockpit is more than just a dashboard—it’s a digital experience powered by complex software stacks. Android Automotive OS has emerged as the leading platform for next-generation IVI systems, offering deep integration with vehicle controls and services.

As automotive UIs grow more sophisticated, ensuring their correctness, responsiveness, and reliability becomes mission-critical. Squish enables full-stack GUI test automation tailored to the specific challenges of Android Automotive.

Whether you’re building native system apps or Qt-based HMI layers, Squish brings precision, speed, and scalability to your testing strategy.

Key Benefits

Squish stands out for its non-intrusive nature and broad support across embedded and desktop GUI technologies. It is designed to address the unique needs of Android Automotive development teams.

Technology-Aware Recognition

Identify and interact with individual UI elements rather than relying on image-based tests.

Multi-Language Scripting

Write tests in Python, JavaScript, Ruby, Perl, or Tcl whichever fits your team’s workflow.

CI/CD Integration

Connect easily with Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, and other continuous integration tools.

Reusable Test Assets

Build modular test components that can be reused across different ECUs or vehicle programs.

Detailed Reporting

Generate rich logs, screenshots, and video captures to speed up debugging and improve traceability.

Hybrid UI Support

Seamlessly test applications that combine native Android components with Qt-based UIs.

Automotive-Grade reliablility

In the automotive industry, safety and compliance are non-negotiable. Squish is built with ISO 26262 workflows in mind.

From generating traceable test results to integrating with ALM systems like Polarion and TestRail, it helps development teams meet their quality and documentation requirements.

Whether you’re conducting verification for an infotainment screen or a safety-critical alert, Squish ensures repeatable, audit-ready testing at scale.

Native Android Automotive Support

From climate control to navigation, native Android Automotive apps are central to the in-vehicle experience. Squish seamlessly integrates with the Android stack, using ADB to deploy, control, and test apps.

You can simulate complex user interactions such as multi-touch gestures or rotary dial inputs, enabling highly realistic testing scenarios.

Squish also supports testing on both emulated environments and actual ECUs, giving you confidence across development and production hardware.

Qt on Android Automotive

Qt is widely used in automotive due to its rich graphics support and cross-platform capabilities. With Squish, you gain direct access to Qt object hierarchies, including both Widgets and QML.

This allows you to validate application logic and UI state without relying on fragile image-based tests.

Squish understands the structure and properties of your Qt components, making your test scripts robust and maintainable even as your UI evolves.
