The automotive industry is facing increased 'productivity-pressure' as European and US markets are almost saturated. OEMs extend their product ranges in order to hold their market shares. Developing more product variants increases complexity and as a result car manufacturers need to increase the efficiency of their product development projects by reducing cost and shorten time-to- market. Within the development process testing takes a significant portion of the overall product development cost (prototype production, sophisticated test equipment, ...). Finding success factors for automotive testing makes a substantial economic potential available for improving also the overall product development process. The author developed a success model in order to identify critical success factors. Information management is one of the key success factors in a test facility. The book also gives an overview of software requirements for IT solutions in order to boost efficiency and effectiveness in test labs.
