Software Testing for Mobility, Transportation, and Connected Customer Experiences
Mobility systems must function seamlessly in all areas of everyday life: in the vehicle, in mobile apps, in the backend, at the charging station, and at the interface with the real world. Potential errors can impact the software, navigation, the charging experience, route guidance, real-time data, customer loyalty, operational processes, and the quality of digital services throughout complex mobility processes.
Since 2020, TestSolutions has been supporting customers in the mobility sector across various mobility and transportation contexts, including navigation systems, electric mobility/EV charging, customer loyalty programs, rail-related backend and mobile processes, and other digital platforms. Building on this foundation, we support our clients with everything from one-off testing projects to long-term, scalable delivery models.
Industry Expertise
Navigation systems, GIS data, EV charging apps, loyalty applications, mobile point-of-sale systems, backend processes in the rail and mobility sectors, and interfaces to vehicles, infrastructure, and real-time data—we understand the technical interrelationships behind modern mobility software. This understanding forms the foundation for testing activities that are not only technically sound but also functionally relevant.
Complexity Involving the Vehicle, App, Backend, and Real-Time Data
Mobility platforms are highly interconnected. Map data, POI databases, routing algorithms, traffic information, charging station data, vehicle logic, and mobile front ends must work together seamlessly. We provide transparency regarding these interdependencies and align quality assurance with business- and user-critical journeys.
Seamlessly Integrated
We work with the tools and processes already established in your organization—from Jira, Xray, and Azure DevOps to Excel-based test artifacts, bench setups, internal diagnostic tools, GPS trackers, and API testing frameworks. We seamlessly integrate our services into development, validation, and release processes.
Practical Continuing Education
In addition to providing testing services, we also deliver structured knowledge transfer. Through the TestSolutions Academy, we offer training on testing methods, test management, test automation, agile testing, AI testing, and other topics—all practical, accredited, and directly applicable to real-world project requirements.
Software Testing with Mobility Experts
Since 2020, we have been helping companies in the mobility sector reliably secure their software-based products, platforms, and processes—from embedded and automotive contexts to mobile applications, backend systems, and data platforms.
We consistently stand on the side of software users—that is, the companies that want to implement, test, integrate, further develop, and securely operate systems. Our experts bridge the gap between business use cases, technical dependencies, and operational realities—in the field, on the test bench, and in the backend.
Depending on your needs, we can handle one-off specialized tasks, long-term testing campaigns, or scalable delivery responsibilities managed from Germany, for which we can provide additional capacity in Rwanda and India.
Quality assurance where mobility software actually has to work
"Testing mobility software means aligning digital systems with the real world.
What matters isn’t just whether a feature exists technically—but whether navigation, maps, real-time data, charging information, and user guidance work together reliably under real-world conditions.
That is precisely where our strength lies.”
-- Sabri Deniz Martin, Head of Marketing and longtime automotive tester
Challenges in Mobility and Navigation Projects
Mobility companies develop and operate systems that must function in dynamic, distributed, and often safety- or mission-critical environments.
The requirements for data quality, user experience, stability, and integrability leave little room for error. Quality assurance must therefore always be considered within the context of actual usage—not in isolation for each individual component.
We are familiar with the following challenges—and many others—from our project experience in various mobility and transportation contexts.
-
Navigation Quality Under Real-World Conditions
Route calculation, ETA, map display, voice guidance, location tracking, and real-time traffic updates must function consistently in the vehicle under varying conditions. Field tests and benchmarks are not just an added bonus here, but an essential part of robust quality assurance.
-
Data Quality in Map, POI, and Charging Ecosystems
Incorrect addresses, incomplete POIs, inconsistent charging station information, or delayed status data directly impact the user experience. We systematically check data quality—in databases, APIs, and in real-world usage contexts.
-
Complex system boundaries between the vehicle, the app, and the backend
Many errors occur at the interfaces: between embedded software, mobile apps, third-party data, content providers, and backend systems. That's exactly where we come in with end-to-end, API, database, and integration testing.
-
Scaling and Time Pressures During Validation Phases
Testing demands often surge sharply at short notice, especially ahead of releases, initial production runs, or product updates. With scalable teams and structured testing models, we help alleviate the pressure without sacrificing transparency or quality.
Validation of Mobility Systems in Practice
From testing complex EV routing algorithms to verifying point-of-interest databases under real-world conditions.
Several years of experience in international mobility projects
Since 2020, TestSolutions has been supporting projects focused on navigation systems, live data, GIS validation, database testing, and EV charging scenarios.
Tested in the field in more than 10 European metropolitan areas
For live testing of navigation systems, drives were conducted in major European metropolitan areas to validate routing, ETA, and real-world traffic conditions against industry standards.
650+ findings in 9 months of on-premises testing
Through daily testing of new navigation platforms on test benches and in the field, over 650 findings were identified and analyzed within nine months using 2.5 FTEs.
API, Database, and Charging Expertise from Real-World Projects
Our services range from navigation database testing and EPOI and API benchmarking to Europe-wide EV charging experience tests using real apps and charging stations.

Testing EV Charging Apps Under Real-World Conditions
"When testing charging apps, it’s not enough to evaluate individual features in isolation.
What matters is whether the entire user experience works under real-world conditions—from searching for a charging station to checking availability, prices, and connector information, all the way through to actually starting the charging process.
It is precisely at these interfaces between the app, live data, and physical infrastructure that the quality risks we identify arise.”
-- Daniel Mihai Chitac, Senior Test Consultant

This approach ensures reliability and transparency, particularly in mobility projects characterized by fluctuating test windows, release pressures, and a high need for coordination among business units, development teams, and suppliers.
Consulting
Not every quality assurance issue is primarily a resource issue. Often, the first step is to gain clarity on risks, processes, roles, test coverage, or tooling.
We advise mobility clients on the following issues, among others:
- Developing appropriate test strategies for connected system landscapes
- Maturity analysis and optimization of existing QA processes
- Selecting tools and frameworks for test management and automation
- Governance for test data, environments, and release quality
- Integration of quality assurance into agile and hybrid delivery models
Tools & Technical Implementation
Our teams work with established tools and, when necessary, also use their own frameworks or specialized tools.
In the mobility sector, the range extends from Jira/Xray, Excel, GPS tracking, and mapping software to API test setups, bench test environments, customer-specific analysis tools, and the classic test bench.
For us, the tool is not an end in itself; rather, what matters is the robust validation of your business-critical processes and usage scenarios.

Securing Loyalty Systems in the Mobility Context
"Loyalty systems in the mobility sector have a profound impact on the customer experience.
They integrate apps, user accounts, booking logic, partner offers, payment processes, and personalized benefits.
Even minor errors at these interfaces can immediately erode trust. That’s why testing such systems requires not only technical precision but also a clear understanding of the customer journey.”
