Testing & QA Services — Web, Mobile & IoT Device Testing

Connected products fail at the seams — where the device, the mobile app and the cloud meet. Barquecon's QA team tests across all three surfaces, so a firmware change, an app release or an API update never breaks the experience your users depend on. We embed quality throughout your delivery lifecycle, not as a final gate before release.

Software that ships without proper testing delivers a poor user experience, damages your reputation and costs far more to fix after the fact. For connected products the risk multiplies: a defect can hide in the device firmware, the companion app, the cloud backend, or the handoff between them. Our QA practice gives you the confidence to release frequently across every layer — knowing your product meets its requirements and your users will not hit critical failures in the field.

Our Testing Services

Web Application Testing

Functional, cross-browser and responsive testing of your web apps and dashboards — validating business logic, user flows, edge cases and behaviour across browsers, screen sizes and devices.

Mobile App Testing

iOS and Android testing across real devices and emulators — functional testing, device and OS-version compatibility, interrupt and network-condition handling, and Appium automation for regression suites.

IoT & Connected-Device Testing

End-to-end testing of device, app and cloud together — firmware and OTA updates, BLE/Wi-Fi/MQTT connectivity, pairing and provisioning, interoperability across firmware versions, and hardware-in-the-loop validation.

Test Automation

Automated regression suites using Selenium, Cypress, Playwright and Appium that run on every code change — giving developers fast, reliable feedback across web and mobile without manual retesting.

API & Cloud Backend Testing

REST and GraphQL API validation and device-telemetry checks using Postman and automated frameworks — verifying contracts, authentication, error handling and the data flowing between devices and your cloud.

Performance & Load Testing

JMeter and k6 load tests to verify your backend handles peak traffic and large device fleets — identifying bottlenecks in the API, database and infrastructure before they reach production.

IoT Device Testing — What We Cover

Connected appliances and smart devices fail in ways pure-software products never do. We test the dimensions that matter in the field, across the device, app and cloud as one system.

Connectivity & Protocols

BLE, Wi-Fi and MQTT pairing, reconnection after drop-outs, weak-signal and multi-device behaviour.

Firmware & OTA Updates

Update integrity, interrupted/failed-update recovery, rollback, and cross-version compatibility with the app and cloud.

App Pairing & Provisioning

First-time setup, onboarding flows, account linking, and re-pairing across iOS and Android devices.

Device-to-Cloud Telemetry

Data accuracy and integrity, command latency, offline buffering and sync once the device reconnects.

Power & Resilience

Power-loss recovery, low-battery behaviour, and stability under prolonged real-world usage.

Device Security

Authentication, encrypted transport, secure provisioning and basic OWASP IoT checks.

Why Connected Products Need Dedicated QA

Defects Hide Between the Layers

A feature can pass in isolation on the device, the app and the cloud — and still break when they run together. Most field failures in connected products live in those handoffs: a firmware update that the app version no longer understands, a pairing flow that fails on one Android OEM, telemetry that drifts after a reconnect. We test the whole system, on real hardware, the way customers actually use it.

How We Integrate QA Into Your Development

Phase 1 — Test Planning

Strategy & Test Plan

Defining the scope, approach and tools for the QA engagement across web, mobile and device.

  • Requirements and acceptance criteria review
  • Test scope and coverage matrix (incl. device/firmware variants)
  • Test environment, device lab and data strategy
  • Automation framework selection and setup
Phase 2 — Sprint QA

In-Sprint Testing

QA running in parallel with development — not after it.

  • Test case creation from user stories
  • Functional testing of each sprint's features
  • Bug reporting with reproduction steps and severity
  • Regression testing of previously passed features
Phase 3 — Automation

CI/CD Integrated Test Suite

Automated tests running on every build to protect release quality.

  • Automated regression suite covering critical paths
  • Pipeline integration (GitHub Actions / Jenkins)
  • Pass/fail reporting on every pull request
  • Ongoing maintenance as features and firmware change
Phase 4 — Release Sign-Off

Pre-Release Validation

Final quality gate before every production or OTA release.

  • Full regression run on staging / device lab
  • Performance and load test results review
  • Test summary and sign-off report
  • Post-release smoke test verification
