As the OTT landscape continues to evolve with new solutions, devices, platforms, and rising user expectations, delivering a seamless experience has never been more important. Providers must navigate a complex landscape of new releases, platform updates, evolving compliance regulations, and ever-increasing user experience demands.
We understand these challenges and offer state-of-the-art quality assurance and operations services to ensure your content reaches your audience flawlessly. Our QA team ensures throughout the entire software and product lifecycle that the software meets the desired requirements and defined specifications, functions reliably, and thus offers a seamless and high-quality user experience across all platforms.
Whether you're launching a new application, optimizing an existing service, or maintaining daily operations. Qvest provides the expertise and infrastructure to keep you ahead of the competition. As an external service provider, we also help improve the services of other providers.
We operate one of Europe’s largest TV test labs, providing comprehensive device coverage and state-of-the-art test infrastructure. Our maintenance includes deployment, configuration, monitoring, maintenance, scaling, troubleshooting, incident management, change management, and security management. We provide an unparalleled testing environment covering all major devices and ecosystems:
Through feature acceptance tests during the development process, as well as regression and stress tests before and after releases, we verify all functionalities and interactions within the app. This shortens time-to-market, enhances user experience, and reduces costs in the long run.
The performance of the app — including load times, responsiveness, and resource usage — is a key factor for customer satisfaction. Through our performance tests, we continually optimize these aspects. Thanks to the broad range of devices covered by our test lab, we provide our partners with precise and reliable results, giving them a competitive edge, especially when they have a large device reach.
Our QA focuses on the quality of all web, mobile, smart TV, and HbbTV app content, including UX, image quality, audio playback, and streaming stability. We offer our clients reliable and solid results thanks to our optimal test infrastructure.
Providers in Europe are obligated to make apps fully accessible. We are well-versed in the standards for accessibility and ensure full accessibility of apps. More information on accessibility and an optimal Gen-AI workflow for this challenge can be found here.
Our QA includes security tests and tools for compliance with data protection regulations, ensuring that users' personal data is adequately protected.
Since smart TV apps are also used on mobile devices, we ensure that apps seamlessly sync between different devices and that all user data and settings are correctly transferred. The QA process checks whether features work as intended and ensures a consistent UX across all devices.
Identifying and fixing issues early in the development cycle is more cost-effective than addressing them after the app’s release. We help save both time and resources.
In a crowded market where numerous software solutions vie for attention, ensuring an app function smoothly is critical to remaining competitive and retaining a loyal user base. Through testing at all stages (component tests, integration tests, system tests, and acceptance tests), as well as sanity checks in operation and regression testing in all iterations, we ensure the app’s efficiency and reliability before and after launch, addressing bugs early on.
Effective test automation significantly enhances the quality, speed, and cost efficiency of QA processes. We rely on a comprehensive testing strategy with automated end-to-end tests. Our QA experts utilize state-of-the-art test automation tools across different platforms: Web, Mobile, Webdriver, Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Appium, Android Studio, Smart TVs, Set-Top Boxes & OTT Sticks.
Our testing methods follow the test pyramid to enable a structured and cost-efficient quality assurance process:
Code Level: Unit tests isolate and efficiently verify individual functions.
API Level: Integration and system tests ensure that all interfaces work seamlessly and guarantee optimal performance.
GUI Level: End-to-end tests simulate user interactions and monitor the system’s overall availability and speed. Automated End-to-End Testing for TV, Mobile, and Web.
We continuously refine our approach with AI-powered automation and structured testing to enhance reliability and efficiency. This ensures seamless performance for your streaming services and OTT applications, driving user satisfaction and competitiveness.
For automated testing on Smart TVs, STBs, and OTT sticks, we use Suite.st - a powerful platform for remote access, test execution, and log analysis. This enables a scalable and reproducible test strategy, ensuring cross-platform quality directly on end devices.
Our test center offers comprehensive HbbTV testing capabilities in a controlled test environment. We regularly update our device collection with the latest TV sets and keep our test infrastructure state-of-the-art.
We offer specifically for HbbTV testing:
