Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our IoT testing services and methodologies.
The most critical challenge is device diversity and interoperability. To ensure your product works across various protocols (Zigbee, MQTT) and firmware versions, we use a standardized ISO/IEC 29119 approach for consistent test design.
To test IoT connection in remote locations, we use network simulators to inject packet loss, jitter, and high latency. We also perform field testing to validate how the device handles Radio Frequency (RF) interference and satellite/cellular handovers using advanced network analyzers.
Security testing for medical IoT devices is vital because a breach can directly impact patient safety. Adhering to HIPAA and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) ensures we encrypt patient data and harden devices against OT ransomware and unauthorized firmware tampering.
Automating firmware regression tests ensures that every new update (FOTA) does not break existing features. Automation slashes testing cycles from weeks to hours, speeding up development and getting your IoT products to market faster.
We simulate a connected device environment where multiple smart devices (lights, thermostats, cameras) interact simultaneously. We measure edge computing latencyand the cloud backend's ability to handle data spikes without service degradation under peak workloads.
