Why add independent testing if we already test internally?

Your own testing is the starting point. Independent validation adds another view of how your device handles streaming content and meets relevant test requirements. We work alongside your team to identify gaps in coverage and give engineers evidence they can use.

How does validation fit around our launch date?

The aim is to find problems while there is still time to fix them. We plan testing around your development schedule and use automation to repeat checks as software changes. Timing depends on the scope and what the tests uncover, so we agree priorities with your team rather than promise that testing can never affect a launch.

Can you work with our existing tools?

Yes. We plan validation around your existing tools and development workflow. Where useful, we add automated testing and playback capture to help your team investigate failures without replacing the way you already work.

Why does CTA WAVE matter for your streaming device?

CTA WAVE provides a shared set of requirements and tests for streaming playback. It gives your team a consistent way to check the software that handles media and the device’s playback behaviour, rather than relying only on whether a few sample videos play.

Is this only for Smart TVs?

No. Testing can cover set-top boxes and other streaming devices, as well as browsers and media players. We agree the scope around the platforms your viewers use.

How does automated testing help our team?

An automated test system, sometimes called a test harness, runs checks and records results in a consistent way. It helps your team repeat playback tests after software updates and compare results without doing every check manually.

How does AI help investigate failed tests?

AI-assisted analysis brings together recordings and test logs to highlight where a failure may have occurred. This helps engineers focus their investigation when there are too many results to review individually. It supports their judgement rather than replacing it.

Streaming Device Validation

Catch playback problems before they hold up your launch

You’re close to launch when a stream that played perfectly in testing freezes on another device and your team has to work out why. Resillion’s Streaming Device Validation helps you catch those playback problems earlier, so your team has time to fix them before launch. You get clear test evidence to help you decide when your device is ready for viewers.

Know how your device plays, beyond the first successful stream

Getting a video to start is only part of the picture. What happens when a viewer skips ahead, or the stream switches to a different quality? We test how your device handles these changes, including whether protected content plays as it should, so you can see where the viewing experience breaks down.

Our testing draws on CTA WAVE, an industry project that helps streaming content work consistently across devices. We check both the software that controls playback and what the device actually shows on screen. Our experience with WAVE test suites and smart TV and set-top box testing helps us turn those checks into useful evidence for your engineers.

We fit testing around your development work and the playback risks that matter most to your device. Automated tests make it easier to repeat checks as software changes, while clear reports help your team understand what failed and check whether a fix has worked. That puts our Total Quality approach into practice: finding problems throughout development, rather than leaving them for a final check.

BENEFITS

How Resillion can help you get ready for launch

Give your team a clearer view of what works, what needs fixing and whether your device is ready to launch.

Developer testing cyber resilience act compliance and cra requirements

Know what still needs fixing before launch

Catch compatibility problems across devices

Check protected content plays as expected

Spend less time repeating manual tests

Give engineers evidence they can act on

Keep playback checks part of development

Challenge

A telecoms and media provider was running thousands of automated tests every day. During live TV testing on Android devices, an error message would sometimes appear instead of the programme. Finding out why meant engineers switching between device recordings, camera footage and logs. Even a small failure rate created hours of investigation.

Approach

Resillion added AI-assisted analysis to the existing test platform. It could read the on-screen error message from camera footage and bring together the relevant recordings and logs, pointing engineers to the moment something went wrong.

Result

The system analyses 350–400 test results a day, rising to 600 on busier days, with reported test-analysis accuracy of 95%. Engineers have clearer evidence to investigate failures, with human validation still part of the process.

WHY US?

Result

Help engineers narrow down what went wrong

WHY NOW?

Late playback problems leave less time to put things right

When testing gaps only become visible near release, your team can face difficult choices about fixes and launch dates. Common problems include:

Gaps in standards testing discovered during final checks

Protected content that will not play close to launch

Video that works on one device but fails on another

Hours spent reviewing recordings to understand a failure

Manual checks that must be repeated after each update

Test results that show a failure but not what happened
