Profilence, a company headquartered in Oulu renowned for its advanced software quality assurance solutions, has established a partnership with RemotiveLabs, a software startup in Malmö specializing in modern and flexible tools for software development in vehicles. This collaboration aims to combine Profilence’s expertise in stability analysis based on user behavior modeling with RemotiveLabs’ capabilities in integrating vehicle signals. The objective is to create a comprehensive quality analysis solution for infotainment systems that can efficiently recreate real-world user interactions and integrate vehicle signals, ultimately leading to faster and more efficient development cycles. This partnership offers original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1s a holistic view of infotainment system performance and quality, even in laboratory environments where only hardware test rigs are available, well before vehicles are ready for fleet trials.
Profilence specializes in advanced software quality assurance solutions for automotive, medical, and smart devices. Their QA Suite and expertise are designed to expedite product development and prevent critical software issues from reaching end users. Profilence is particularly known for its stability analysis solution, which is based on user behavior modeling and root cause analysis. On the other hand, RemotiveLabs focuses on providing modern and flexible software development tools for automotive engineers. Founded in 2020, RemotiveLabs aims to simplify software development for vehicles with its open and developer-centric platform, supporting innovation in the automotive industry.
The collaboration between Profilence and RemotiveLabs addresses the industry’s challenge of accurately recreating the complex interplay between user behavior and vehicle signals. By eliminating this gap, detailed analysis and faster, more efficient development cycles become possible. The partnership empowers OEMs and Tier 1s by providing a ‘1+1=3’ scenario, where the combined capabilities of RemotiveLabs and Profilence enable a comprehensive view of infotainment system performance and quality in a laboratory environment, even when only hardware test rigs are available, well before vehicles are ready for fleet trials.
First demonstrated at the COVESA All Members Meeting in Gothenburg in April 2024, P3 was an early adopter with their Android Automotive OS based SPARQ OS platform. Marius Mailat, CTO & Managing Director of P3 digital services, expressed, “With this integration, we’re showing how OEMs can be sure their IVI is built on superior-quality technology and bring their products to market faster, with confidence.”
This innovative quality analytics solution addresses the challenge of identifying issues that typically arise in long-term usage. RemotiveLabs and Profilence empower manufacturers to ensure expected quality, user experience, and long-term stability. Tero Aaltonen, Chief Business Development Officer of Profilence, commented, “We’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in infotainment testing. Bringing in RemotiveLabs’ capabilities into our solution will become the new benchmark for quality analysis in automotive infotainment.” RemotiveLabs CTO, Aleksandar Filipov, added, “Our partnership with Profilence is a game-changer for testing with real vehicle data. We make it easy to record, share, and use real drive-cycles which are fed into Profilence’s QA Suite, enabling fully automated end-to-end testing at scale.”
This technology partnership elevates Profilence’s capabilities by automating testing and enabling quality analytics of the actual in-vehicle experiences, combined with vehicle behavior.
