Embedded Systems Testing Services
Cloud-based HIL/SIL testing for embedded devices. Validate firmware, connectivity protocols, and app integration on real hardware – managed remotely by our team.
Our Testing Solutions for Embedded Devices
To ensure your microcontrollers reach the market in top quality, we perform the following types of testing:
Functional testing
- Validation of device hardware components (e.g., sensors, actuators) for correct operation in response to inputs.
- Testing embedded logic behaviors (e.g., state transitions, event handling) under normal and boundary conditions.
Performance testing
- Measurement of firmware execution times for critical operations (e.g., sensor polling, command processing).
- End-to-end latency benchmarks between device, app, and cloud under varying network conditions.
Integration & regression testing
- Verification of seamless data flow and interactions between device, mobile app, and сloud Integration.
- Regression checks for existing functionalities after updates to any component (firmware, app, or backend).
Security & data integrity testing
- Validation of API authentication, authorization, and encryption for secure data exchange.
- Testing network connections for integrity (e.g., TLS validation, tamper detection in transit data).
Connectivity testing
- Testing connection stability and handover between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi protocols.
- Validation of signal strength, range, and interference scenarios for reliable connectivity.
Firmware integrity validation
- Automated checks for firmware checksums and hashes pre- and post-OTA to detect corruption.
- Verification of signature validation during update installation.
Protocol testing
- Verification of message publishing/subscribing and error handling in MQTT and CoAP protocols.
- Сomprehensive LoRa/LoRaWAN testing
- Testing request-response cycles, persistence, and real-time updates in REST and WebSocket communications.
UX / usability testing
- Evaluation of user flows for onboarding (e.g., device setup, app pairing) for intuitiveness and error handling.
- Usability checks for in-app interactions, notifications, and recovery from common user errors.
Automation of physical interactions
- Automated scripts for Bluetooth pairing sequences, including discovery, bonding, and error recovery.
- End-to-end automation of OTA update processes, from initiation to verification of successful firmware deployment.
End-to-End IoT validation
- Comprehensive scenarios tracing data from firmware sensors through app processing to cloud storage and analytics.
- Validation of full system synchronization and consistency across all layers.
Reliability & stress testing
- Simulation of repeated power cycles to ensure device recovery and state preservation.
- Stress scenarios for network reconnects and OTA updates during high-load conditions (e.g., concurrent data streaming).
Consumer IoT validation
- Testing device pairing and reconnection in real-world consumer scenarios (e.g., multi-device environments).
- Regression and manual exploratory checks for everyday use cases like app backgrounding or network switches.
