The Babysense Smart Nursery App encompasses three devices, each equipped with associated hardware. These devices were seamlessly paired with the app through Bluetooth technology. The integrated hardware components encompass sensors, light and sound generation facilities, and a camera, all controllable through the application. Hisense sought an adept testing team with experience in IoT product testing to help in validating the functioning of the application along with the connected hardware devices within the IoT system.
Lack of in-house testing team:
Hisense lacked an internal QA team for effectively managing testing efforts. Software developers executed software testing without the perspective of an effective testing approach, that only proficient and experienced software testing professionals could provide. Hisense sought software testers with experience in IoT product testing to conduct comprehensive end-to-end product testing of their in-house developed IoT product and to validate the connectivity and the subsequent functioning of the devices and the software within the IoT system.
Hardware-Software Integration Testing:
Hisense was in search of expert software testers experienced in testing mobile apps integrated with hardware devices on both Android and IOS platforms. The application was integrated with three different devices using bluetooth technology: Babysense Connect, Babysense Dreamer, and BabysenseSee HD. The application testing was to be carried out for all these integrations on both Android and IOS-based mobile devices.
Required Standard QA Documentation:
The lack of timely updates to project documents following changes in various functionalities and features of the application posed a challenge for Hisense's software developers during testing. Many functionalities and features present in the application were absent from the existing project documents. Additionally, the functioning of some features did not align with the specifications outlined in the documents.
