Why Choose Us for Hardware Automation?

Hardware automation is the backbone of modern embedded system validation. Whether you’re building IoT devices, automotive components, or industrial controllers, automation reduces development time, minimizes human error, and ensures repeatability. At QAP Software Solutions, we bring engineering-grade precision to every hardware test process.

Independent Embedded QA Experts

We offer unbiased validation through hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and test bench automation setups. Our independence ensures complete objectivity in device performance verification, even in complex real-time systems.

Integrated Hardware-Software Testing

We go beyond just hardware. Our hardware automation workflows also test firmware, APIs, and cloud connectivity, offering a full-stack validation from chip to cloud.

Engineers with Deep Domain Knowledge

Our QA engineers have backgrounds in electrical, electronics, and embedded systems engineering. Their understanding of circuit behavior, signal integrity, and low-level communication gives your product an edge.

Accelerated Testing Cycles

From automated GPIO toggling to sensor simulation, our hardware automation eliminates time-consuming manual tests, increasing test coverage without sacrificing speed.

Compliance-Ready Automation

We follow global industry standards such as ISO 26262, IEC 61508, and DO-178C for functional safety and compliance. Our automated validation supports traceability, documentation, and audit-readiness.

Tech Stack We Use in Hardware Automation

Our robust hardware automation ecosystem includes a mix of proprietary test equipment and open-source tools:

This all-in-one toolkit keeps our hardware automation solutions flexible, trackable, and ready for deployment in production environments.

Our Testing Process

Our approach is methodically designed to address the complexities of validating integrated hardware and software systems.

Step 1
Requirement Analysis & Hardware Study

We evaluate your schematics, firmware architecture, and compliance requirements to design a testing strategy.

Step 2
Test Setup Design & Automation Plan

Custom rigs, sensors, and tools are chosen based on the devices under test (DUT). We define automation scopes and test coverage metrics.

Step 3
Framework Development

We build automated test frameworks that interact with your hardware through APIs, relays, sensors, and simulation boards.

 

Step 4
Test Execution & Data Capture

Tests are run across voltage, frequency, and load conditions. Logs, waveforms, and device states are recorded for analysis.

Step 5
Continuous Validation & Reporting

Regression tests are triggered automatically, and data is compiled into visual dashboards for engineers and product managers.

Step 6
Final Review & Compliance Reporting

We deliver defect maps, test case traceability, and compliance documentation to support audits and certifications.
