Hardware & IoT Testing
Physical devices need human testers. Automation can't press buttons, plug in cables, or test real-world conditions. CarbonQA's dedicated team can.
Why Human Testing Matters for Hardware
Physical Interaction Required
Real devices need real hands: plugging cables, pressing buttons, and testing physical controls that automation simply cannot touch.
Real-World Conditions
Test under actual environmental conditions: Wi-Fi interference, Bluetooth range limits, power fluctuations, and more.
Cross-Device Ecosystems
Verify interoperability between multiple connected devices, hubs, and companion apps in real-world setups.
Industries We Serve
Smart Home
Connected thermostats, security cameras, smart locks, lighting systems, and voice assistants.
Wearables
Fitness trackers, smartwatches, health monitors, and companion app integrations.
Industrial IoT
Sensors, controllers, monitoring systems, and industrial automation equipment.
Medical Devices
Patient monitors, connected health devices, and clinical-grade wearables.
Automotive IoT
In-vehicle infotainment, connected car features, OBD-II devices, and fleet management tools.
What We Test
Device Setup & Onboarding
First-time setup flows, pairing, provisioning, and out-of-box experience testing.
Firmware Update Testing
Validate OTA updates, rollback scenarios, and version compatibility across device generations.
Connectivity & Protocol Testing
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Z-Wave, and cellular connectivity validation under real conditions.
Companion App Testing
Mobile and desktop apps that control or monitor hardware devices, tested end-to-end with the physical product.
Interoperability Testing
Cross-platform and cross-ecosystem compatibility: Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and more.
Edge Case & Failure Testing
Power loss, signal drop, low battery, and unexpected disconnection scenarios that only surface with real hardware.
