Renesas Electronics Taps Wind River for Android Software Testing

Renesas Electronics Corp. has selected Wind River's Framework for Automated Software Testing (FAST) to test its Cortex-A9-based SoC platform for Android-based smartphones and consumer products.

Wind River's FAST for Android assists silicon vendors, device manufacturers and mobile operators in improving the software quality of their Android implementations and test performance, compliance and device user interface and user experience. This is enabling Renesas Electronics to streamline its software testing process and improve software quality and stability through the use of a variety of tests including the Wind River Advanced Device Characterization Suite, and verify compliance with Android Compatibility Test Suite (CTS). FAST also automates thousands of heterogeneous tests and then consolidates the results into a single uniform database to ease access and reporting of test results.

In a statement, Jerry Ashford, Vice President and General Manager of mobile solutions at Wind River, said, "By investing in our reliable, commercial-quality test solution, customers can focus efforts and resources on critical issues such as developing unique features that differentiate their mobile devices and verifying Android compliancy."
