The QP staff has extensive experience with test case design and implementation for testing of wireless appliances running over WLAN. QP has experience testing appliances supporting the 802.11, 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g protocols.

QP has developed an 802.11b Wireless Compatibility lab for use in compatibility testing for products under test supporting the 802.11b protocol. The QP lab is kept updated and as new products become available, QP invests in those products for inclusion to our lab. The lab consists of Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity™) certified and non-Wi-Fi wireless access point products, including supported PC cards, such as Cisco Aironet™ 350, Lucent Agere™, Orinoco™ AP-1000, Intel PRO™/Wireless 2011, Linksys WAP1™1, D-Link DWL 1000-AP™, SBA 2.4 GIG™, Wireless Networking Kit, 3Com Airconnect™ and Apple Airport™ Base Station. The QP test service includes testing to ensure connectivity of your wireless supported products with various wireless access points and PC cards, including signal strength testing, security, channel selection and more.


QP will conduct testing of your product in a variety of wireless connection configurations including:

  • Infrastructure
  • Standalone LAN
  • Peer to Peer (Adhoc)

 



QP's experience includes test planning, test case design and implementation for testing application and device compatibility with Bluetooth™ enabled devices in the market including but not limited to:

  • Bluetooth enabled peripherals
  • Bluetooth enabled phones
  • Bluetooth enabled wireless access points

QP's testing includes testing functionality of Bluetooth enabled devices including sending and receiving information. Applications tested include capabilities of hosting a 'chat' session via a Bluetooth connection.

Additional examples of QP's test experience includes:

  • Testing of the Object Exchange™ or OBEX protocol in the transfer of information from PDA's to PC's and PDA's to Bluetooth enabled peripherals and Bluetooth enabled phones.

  • Testing Internet access via a wireless access point through a firewall on the network.

  • Testing the ability to synchronize to a remote PC on a network via a wireless Bluetooth access point. Testing the connectivity of the Bluetooth enabled PC to a Bluetooth enabled wireless device, testing the ability to send and receive mail via Bluetooth and Sync to a remote PC and validating accurate transfer of information.

  • Testing of data and graphical messaging with Bluetooth enabled phones to Bluetooth enabled peripherals.

For further information on QP's Bluetooth related test services, check our QP Bluetooth Compatibility Test Service.

 



QP's staff is experienced in test case design and functional testing of 3rd party BREW™ (Binary Runtime Executable for Wireless environment) applications on a variety of Wireless Handsets (e.g. Sharp© TQCX1 and Kyocera© QCP3035). Our testing includes interoperability, usability, functionality, error handling and user experience with 3rd party applications developed for Qualcomm©'s BREW platform.

QP also provides testing to ensure that 3rd party BREW applications do not interfere with standard phone features/functions such as SMS (Short Message Service).

QP also is very familiar with and provides testing against the BREW Test Validation Guidelines published from Qualcomm.

 



QP provides compatibility testing between a range of IR devices and peripherals including but not limited to printers, digital cameras, PDAs, phones, PCs, modems, etc.

  • Interoperability testing and validation of accurate transfer of data
  • Connectivity testing
  • Distance and interference testing
  • Synchronization over IR
  • Throughput and performance testing

 



A sampling of QP's messaging test experience which spans more than five years includes:

  • Testing paging, Instant Messaging, and SMS/MMS/EMS protocols.

  • Testing messaging protocols on paging networks since 1998.

  • Test experience across a wide variety of handsets including pagers, PDAs, cellular phones, and other handheld devices.

  • Test experience across a wide variety of operating systems including, but not limited to, Palm OS™, FLEX OS™, Wisdom OS™, J2ME™, Symbian©, Pocket PC™ and Windows CE™.

  • Test experience across a variety of networks including, but not limited to, GSM, CDMA™, ReFLEX™, Mobitex™, DataTAC™, Palm.Net™, iDEN™.

  • Testing of application functionality and messaging capabilities.

  • Testing of application ability to send and receive messages correctly.

  • Testing of application ability to handle events such as incoming messages while monitoring potential loss of coverage.

  • Testing of application interoperability with native handset applications.

 



QP's OBEX™ (Object Exchange Protocol) testing includes validating the transfer of information from PDA's to PC's and PDA's to Bluetooth™ enabled peripherals and Bluetooth enabled phones.

 



QP's vast test experience with the wide variety of synchronization protocols includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Validation of accurate transfer of data, including syncing of special characters and international characters.

  • Conflict and record resolution. Example: validating syncing with numerous modifications, changes and deletions to the same record on the conduit and the handheld device.

  • Testing remote network synchronization via a wireless Bluetooth access point between a remote Bluetooth enabled PC to a Bluetooth enabled wireless device.

  • Testing of network synchronization using 802.11b.

  • Stress testing of the synchronization between conduit and handheld device, or handheld to handheld. For example, syncing of 5,000+ records through an IR sync. This also includes data transfer validation.

  • Error handling during a sync. For example, cancellation of the synchronization process during a network sync via Bluetooth.

  • Performance testing of the synchronization of multiple records. Testing includes comparative performance testing which involves syncing the same records through IR, Bluetooth™, Network, and Local synchronizations while tracking and recording performance results.

  • Multi-user and multi-platform synchronizations.

 



An example of QP's WAP™ experience includes the following:

  • WAP testing across a wide variety of operating systems including, but not limited to, Palm OS™, WisdomOS™, J2ME™, Symbian©, Pocket PC™ and Windows CE™.

  • WAP testing across a variety of networks including, but not limited to, GSM, CDMA™, iDEN™, etc...

  • WAP testing utilizing handsets supporting CDMA and GSM networks. An example of the type of testing conducted is sending and receiving graphical messages from the phones or PDA devices to the client's server. Testing validates a successful connection after entering a valid WML address or IP address on the phone.

  • Link and content checking.
  • Error handling (e.g. invalid data entry/authentication).

  • Performance testing including:
    1. Amount of data generated by WAP applications
    2. Monitoring traffic load during browsing
    3. Checking availability of host servers (up vs. down time)

An example of QP's Web Clipping™ test experience includes:

  • Testing of "Web Clipping" applications on the PDA device using cell phones as modems and wireless modem products.
