CASE STUDY
Automated Test Evidence Collection & Reporting with AroTrace
AI Automation for Compliance, Traceability and Faster Approvals
In the automotive sector, automated test evidence collection is essential to prove compliance and secure release approvals. A Tier-1 supplier developing safety-critical ECUs for electric vehicles faced significant delays, as every release required showing traceability from requirements to test cases, results and defect logs. While Codebeamer held the verification data and Windchill managed BOM approvals, engineers had to manually extract, copy and attach reports — slowing down programs and creating compliance risks. Partnering with Arorian, the company deployed AroTrace to turn test evidence preparation into a faster, traceable and audit-ready process, enhanced by AI automation.
THE CHALLENGE
Manual Test Evidence Slowing Down Compliance
Even with mature ALM and PLM systems in place, the supplier struggled to transform raw verification data into audit-ready evidence. Manual work dominated the process, slowing down approvals and frustrating both engineers and compliance teams. The key obstacles were:
1. Time-consuming preparation
Collating test evidence for each release took 2–3 weeks. Engineers had to manually extract reports from Codebeamer, paste results into templates and attach them to Windchill records, consuming valuable development time.
2. Data inconsistencies
Coverage metrics and defect statuses were often outdated by the time the evidence pack was ready. This mismatch between actual system data and reported results led to rework, delaying approvals even further.
3. Lack of unified audit packages
Compliance teams did not have a single, consolidated view of requirements, test results and defect logs in the context of the BOM. The absence of structured, traceable reports increased audit risks and eroded confidence in the release process.
THE SOLUTION
Automated Test Evidence Collection with AI Support
To overcome these challenges, Arorian implemented test evidence collection & reporting using AroTrace’s orchestration capabilities combined with AI automation layer. Instead of engineers manually stitching together reports, the solution ensured structured, end-to-end traceability in just a few steps:
1
Automated Data Fetching
AroTrace pulled test cases, execution results, coverage reports and defect links directly from Codebeamer, eliminating manual exports.
2
Standardized Report Generation
Evidence packs were automatically compiled with consistent structure and embedded trace links to requirements.
3
Seamless BOM Integration
Reports were automatically attached to Windchill BOM records, providing approvers with a single source of truth.
4
AI Summarization
AroTrace added concise cover notes highlighting overall test coverage, pass/fail status and critical observations for faster review.
THE OUTCOME
Faster Approvals and Audit-Ready Test Evidence
With AroTrace in place, test evidence preparation shifted from a manual bottleneck to a streamlined, audit-ready workflow. The benefits were immediate and measurable:
65% faster preparation
Evidence packs that previously consumed weeks of engineering time were now ready within days.
No missing artifacts
Automated orchestration closed gaps, ensuring every requirement, test and defect was accounted for.
Faster approvals
BOM approvers received complete, ready-to-review packages, accelerating release readiness.
Improved collaboration
Testing and compliance teams could now work from the same standardized evidence packs, reducing friction and rework.
