Smart TV & IoT Testing & Development

Connected-device apps break on specific models and firmware versions — we test TV and IoT apps on real devices so they work wherever they're installed.

Risks we eliminate

01

Failures on specific models or OS versions

We test across the device and OS versions your users actually own.

02

Playback stalls and buffering

We measure start time, buffering and quality changes under different network conditions.

03

Firmware updates breaking compatibility

We re-test key flows when device firmware or your app changes.

Smart TV & OTT apps

We test TV apps with a remote control, the way viewers use them. Navigation, focus, sign-in and purchases are checked against each platform's store requirements.

Real Device Lab →

What we test

  • Remote-control navigation and focus
  • Device sign-in and account linking
  • Subscriptions and in-app purchases
  • Store submission requirements
  • Readable text and accessible TV interfaces

Tools

  • Appium
  • Charles Proxy

Playback & streaming

We test video under good, poor and changing network conditions. Start time, buffering, quality switching and recovery are recorded so you can compare releases.

Performance Testing Services →

What we test

  • Start time and buffering
  • Adaptive bitrate switching
  • Live and on-demand playback
  • Subtitles, captions and audio tracks
  • DRM-protected content

Tools

  • Charles Proxy
  • Network Link Conditioner
  • FFmpeg

Device & firmware compatibility

We test your app and connected devices together across firmware versions. Pairing, updates and offline behaviour are checked so a new version doesn't break existing customers.

Mobile App Testing Services →

What we test

  • Device pairing and setup
  • Firmware and app update paths
  • Offline and reconnect behaviour
  • Companion mobile app control
  • Older firmware still in use

Tools

  • Appium
  • Postman
  • Wireshark

Standards we test against

  • Testing that supports your TV platform store certification requirements readiness
  • Testing that supports your WCAG for TV interfaces readiness

TV & IoT FAQ

Which TV platforms do you test on?+

[PLATFORMS LIST]

How do you test video playback quality?+

We play test content under controlled network conditions and record start time, buffering, quality switches and errors, so results can be compared between releases.

Do you test on real devices?+

Yes. Playback, remote navigation and pairing behave differently on real hardware, so we test those on physical devices rather than relying only on emulators.

Do you help with app store certification submissions?+

Yes. We test against each platform's published submission requirements before you submit, and re-test any issues raised during review.
