Project Summary

Comarch developed a combined hardware-and-software Automated Test System (ATS) for AirFuel Alliance to support certification, interoperability testing and compliance verification for AirFuel Resonant technology. They created test engines, synchronization algorithms and automated CTS, RAT and IOP test cases, delivered ATS v1.0 and v2.0 to Authorized Testing Laboratories, and provided documentation, onsite training, support and maintenance. The team remained responsive across continents and the tool reduced maintenance costs and enabled proprietary Python test cases.

Key Challenges

Support device certification for AirFuel Resonant technology
Enable interoperability testing across devices
Verify compliance with the Resonant standard
Standardize testing for AirFuel Resonant technology

Project Deliverables

Automated Test System (ATS) delivered to Authorized Testing Laboratories (ATLs)
Test engine
Synchronization algorithms
Automated CTS, RAT & IOP test cases
QA-tested ATS version 1.0 and ATS version 2.0 (adapted to Magnetic Resonance Baseline System Specification)
Documentation and onsite trainings
System support and maintenance
Log viewer and interpreter

Project Solution

Comarch designed and built an Automated Test System (ATS) — a combined software and hardware platform — to support device certification, interoperability testing and compliance verification for AirFuel Resonant technology. Work proceeded in phases: ATS v1.0 creation, design of the complex software/hardware test system including a test engine, synchronization algorithms and automation of CTS, RAT & IOP test cases (with QA), then development of ATS v2.0 to align with the AirFuel Magnetic Resonance Baseline System Specification. The vendor delivered ATS to Authorized Testing Laboratories and provided documentation, onsite training, system support and maintenance.

Project Outcome

ATS modular architecture is easy to adjust and upgrade to meet standards updates
Reduced test tool maintenance and case development costs
Ability to write proprietary test cases in Python with automatic versioning and common formatting
Comprehensive documentation and training for members and ATLs enabling pre-certification test runs
Availability of a sophisticated, easy-to-use log viewer and interpreter for result analysis
