The partnership between P3 and Google establishes a comprehensive framework for the certification of Google's authorized Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) partners.

P3 as Accredited Android Automotive 3PL Vendor for AAOS Compliance/xTS

Android Automotive OS is an infotainment platform built into vehicles by manufacturers. Drivers can enjoy a user-centric and intuitive IVI interface that's specifically designed for the vehicle screen.

To release an IVI system with Google apps and services in a vehicle, OEMs must meet certain compatibility and quality standards and acquire the necessary certifications from Google.

Google requires OEMs to run comprehensive tests before an Android software build can be deployed. Collectively, this series of tests is referred to as xTS. These include tests for Compatibility, Vendor Tests, Build Test Suite, Security Test Suite, among others.

P3 Group executes a wide range of xTS test cases including CTS (Compatibility Test Suite), VTS (Vendor Test Suite), CTS-on-GSI (Generic System Image), VTS GKI (Generic Kernel Image), STS (Security Test Suite), BTS (Boot Test Suite), and ATS (Automotive Test Suite). The team focuses on automating test procedures to maximize efficiency, reduce manual effort, and optimize costs. P3 Group performs continuous executions of xTS tests, meticulously analyzing the results and logging any test failures to maintain high standards of quality and performance.

The 3PL Vendor Ecosystem for Android Automotive OS Compliance is designed to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of AAOS solutions and products by connecting OEMs with top-tier providers of compliance assurance services.

The partnership between P3 group and Google establishes a comprehensive framework for the certification of Google's authorized Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) partners in the automotive sector. Through this partnership, all stakeholders can be confident that their Android Automotive OS (AAOS) systems will be able to fulfill the highest performance and compliance standards in terms of quality and dependability.

P3 guarantees partners access to comprehensive test findings, which enables in-depth problem-solving and analysis. Certified specialists are deployed to support the OEM's development teams to resolve xTS problems found in the source code, improving the overall caliber of the product.
