Quest Global, an international engineering services company, has acquired Tests Assured, a U.S.-based provider of quality assurance and technology-enabled testing services for wearable devices, immersive technologies, and connected hardware and software platforms. The acquisition strengthens Quest Global’s engineering capabilities in consumer technology and expands its expertise in validating increasingly complex wearable products.
Tests Assured was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in San Jose, California.
The company specializes in testing augmented reality, virtual reality, extended reality, smart glasses, and other wearable technologies.
Its capabilities also include biometric validation, human-interaction modeling, computer vision data collection, consumer software testing, and AI-enabled device validation.
The acquisition will integrate those capabilities with Quest Global’s existing engineering services platform.
Quest Global provides engineering support to customers across industries including aerospace and defense, automotive, energy, high technology, medical technology, healthcare, rail, and semiconductors.
The company operates in more than 22 countries, maintains 96 delivery centers, and employs more than 23,000 professionals worldwide.
Its services span engineering activities associated with product development and complex technology systems.
By acquiring Tests Assured, Quest Global intends to strengthen its capabilities across the wearable product lifecycle, including development, validation, and quality assurance.
Wearable devices increasingly combine specialized hardware, sensors, software, AI algorithms, and human interaction capabilities.
Products such as smart glasses and immersive computing devices require testing across multiple technical disciplines to evaluate performance and the user experience.
Tests Assured has developed expertise in these areas through its relationships with global wearable technology companies.
Its services help customers evaluate product functionality and performance across different devices and operating conditions.
The company also provides specialized resources for testing technologies involving computer vision, biometric systems, and extended reality.
Quest Global believes the acquisition will complement its existing engineering capabilities while expanding the technical services available to customers developing consumer electronics.
Tests Assured operates from a 23,500-square-foot facility in San Jose.
The location supports quality assurance operations, extended reality and wearable testing, training, management, and the company’s TA Studios activities.
Its delivery footprint also includes on-site teams in Burlingame, California; Redmond, Washington; and New York.
Remote services are provided through its San Jose operations.
The acquired company’s U.S. facilities and technical workforce will strengthen Quest Global’s presence in major technology markets.
Tests Assured’s founder and CEO, Imad Abdelgawad, established the business around specialized quality assurance services for emerging technologies.
The company has developed relationships with device manufacturers and software developers requiring expertise in validating immersive and wearable products.
The combination is expected to provide Tests Assured with access to Quest Global’s international engineering resources and customer relationships.
Quest Global also expects opportunities to broaden its offerings to existing customers and pursue additional business in the high-technology and semiconductor sectors.
As AI becomes more deeply integrated into consumer electronics, validating the interactions between hardware, software, sensors, and users is becoming an increasingly complex engineering requirement.
Quest Global intends to address those requirements through the combined capabilities of its existing engineering teams and Tests Assured’s specialized testing operations.
The acquisition expands Quest Global’s position in the wearables ecosystem while supporting its broader strategy of providing engineering services across advanced technology industries.
