Quest1’s test program to de‑risk Ditto‑powered apps across devices, transports, topologies, and operating systems.
Introduction
Peer‑to‑peer, mesh‑based applications face a combinatorial test surface: device models, OS versions, transports (BLE, P2P Wi‑Fi, LAN), mesh sizes, and offline/online transitions. This offering provides a structured test regimen—functional, consistency, performance, battery/thermal, and upgrade—to certify Ditto‑enabled apps before wide deployment.
Objectives
- Assure correctness under conflict. Validate CRDT‑driven merges and business invariants under concurrent edits.
- Prove connectivity resilience. Test automatic discovery, mesh maintenance, and opportunistic cloud sync in impaired networks.
- Qualify the matrix. Cover priority devices, OS versions, and form factors; document risk on out‑of‑matrix cases.
- Harden performance & UX. Validate latency, UI responsiveness, and battery/thermal footprints at realistic load.
Key Activities
- Define device/OS/transport topologies; prioritize “must pass” vs. “good to have”.
Test Strategy & Matrix
- Build automation using platform test tools and targeted scripts; configure network impairment (loss, latency, partitions) and mobility scenarios.
Harness & Lab Setup
- Exercise BLE, P2P Wi‑Fi, and LAN discovery/sync; verify multi‑hop relays and cloud handoff.
Functional & Consistency Testing
- Exercise BLE, P2P Wi‑Fi, and LAN discovery/sync; verify multi‑hop relays and cloud handoff.
Connectivity & Transport Testing
- Load, soak, and longevity tests with telemetry.
Performance, Battery & Thermal
- Validate app and SDK upgrades, schema migrations, and backward compatibility.
Upgrade & Rollback
- Daily defect triage; risk register and executive summaries.
Reporting & Triage
Deliverables
- Test Plan & Matrix (devices/OS, topologies, transports, scenarios).
-
Automated & Manual Test Suites with reproducible scripts.
- Execution Reports (pass/fail, defects, repro steps, severity).
-
Certification Readout with go/no‑go guidance and remediation plan.
Engagement Approach and Timelines
- Phase 1: Plan & Setup (1–2 weeks). Test strategy, lab/harness build‑out.
- Phase 2: Execute & Iterate (varies based on scope). Scenario runs, bug‑bash, fixes re‑test.
- Phase 3: Certification & Readout (2–3 days). Final report and sign‑off.
Ideal Client Profile
Teams preparing wide rollout of Ditto‑enabled apps where downtime is unacceptable (stores, aircraft turnarounds, field maintenance, clinical settings).
Why Quest1
- Edge‑aware QA built for P2P/mesh realities, not just client‑server.
- Device lab coverage plus practical impairment tooling.
- Tight feedback loops with your product and platform teams.
