Field Testing | Satvsoft

What is Field Testing?

Field testing refers to the process of testing and evaluating an application in real-world conditions outside of the controlled development environment. Testers deploy this approach for both web and mobile applications with the aim of gathering real-user feedback and identifying any issues or potential improvements before the official release.

In mobile, it involves deploying the app to actual devices and having users interact with it in their everyday environments. Typically, the testing is done on mobile networks only. It is a type of mobile testing.

Key Features

Advancements in nanotechnology have gone through a major transformation in the semiconductor industry, leading to a rise in the production of mobile and other portable devices by OEMs. However, these devices must meet regulatory standards set by different wireless carriers and governments while also considering user requirements and expectations.

At Satvsoft, we provide complete device testing services to make sure that devices meet both security standards and user needs. Our testing services include:

Advanced Device Testing Services

The rapid evolution of nanotechnology in the semiconductor space has driven a new era of lightweight, powerful, and feature-rich mobile and portable devices. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are now pushing boundaries by producing smaller yet more capable devices that demand advanced connectivity and seamless performance.

However, innovation must be matched by compliance, quality, and user experience assurance. Devices must meet stringent regulatory standards, pass carrier-specific validations, and deliver optimal user satisfaction—especially in a world that relies on continuous, high-speed, and secure wireless connectivity.

Satvsoft bridges the gap between innovation and deployment, offering full-spectrum device testing services that validate functionality, performance, and compatibility across a diverse set of real-world and lab-based environments.

FAQ'S

Why is device field testing necessary if lab tests are already passed?

Lab tests are controlled and idealized. Field testing captures how the device behaves in real-world environments—accounting for interference, network variations, user movement, and multiple use scenarios. It ensures true reliability before commercial release.

Can Satvsoft test for specific carrier requirements?

Yes. We offer carrier acceptance testing, ensuring devices meet the technical and configuration standards of specific operators worldwide, including eSIM activation, VoLTE/VoNR support, and custom profiles.

What tools and platforms do you use for testing?

We use a wide array of industry-leading tools such as TEMS, Nemo Outdoor, QXDM, XCAP, Wireshark, GNetTrack, and custom automation frameworks tailored for Android and iOS platforms.

Can you test wearable or IoT devices using nano chips?

Absolutely. We specialize in testing compact nano-integrated devices, including wearables, IoT sensors, and embedded systems, focusing on connectivity, power consumption, and environmental performance.

Do you provide post-testing optimization or feedback?

Yes. We not only test but also analyze and provide actionable insights, helping OEMs optimize their device hardware/software, RF tuning, and network configurations for better market performance.
