Robotaxi Test Suite
A command-center style dashboard for monitoring high-volume autonomous ride test runs, device status, scenario execution and operational deviations.
Overview
Problem / Challenge
When hundreds of runs are triggered, a simple list becomes unusable. The interface needed to show the operational picture first, then allow drill-down into scenarios, phones, nodes and deviations.
Constraints / Context
- High-volume test execution without endless scrolling
- Multiple devices and scenarios running simultaneously
- Need to highlight deviations, ETA changes and run status
- Outdoor/mobile-friendly tester workflows
Process
Discover
Research users, jobs and context.
Define
Prioritize opportunities and success criteria.
Design
Prototype flows, states and screens.
Validate
Review through demos, UAT and feedback.
Deliver
Prepare specs, patterns and handoff.
Key Design Decisions
Overview first
Aggregate status cards prevent the user from drowning in rows.
Drill-down model
Users can inspect scenario detail only when needed.
Live states
Running, queued, failed and complete states remain visible.
Deviation focus
KPIs and exceptions receive priority over raw logs.
Design in Action
Listening state
Calm, clear indicator with suggested entry points.
Active / running state
System feedback is visible without becoming distracting.
Before proceeding
Permission & confirmation
Critical actions are confirmed before execution.
Outcome
- Created a scalable dashboard approach for high-volume testing.
- Separated executive overview from operational detail.
- Established reusable cards for device, scenario and run-state monitoring.
Learnings
- Complex UX needs clear states, constraints and prioritization.
- Scannable structure matters as much as visual polish.
- Reusable patterns improve handoff and future iteration.
