Testing
System testing and acceptance
Acceptance testing for smart-home installations, from cable certification to end-to-end scene tests.
Best practices
- Document acceptance in a signed test sheet
- Retest annually as part of maintenance
Common mistakes
- Testing only the happy path
- Skipping 'internet-down' behaviour
- Not testing on the client's actual phone
Engineering checklist
- Cable certification report attached to handover
- Every scene fired from every entry point
- Failure-mode test: internet down, power blip
- Security scenes tested with and without occupancy
- Voice + app + physical switch parity confirmed
Recommended workflow
- Bench test
- Room-by-room test
- Whole-house scenario test
- Failure-mode test
- Signed acceptance
