Quest Global Engineering Services Limited has acquired US-based Tests Assured, strengthening its engineering and quality assurance capabilities across wearable technologies, immersive devices and high-tech consumer electronics.
Announced on 9 November 2026, the acquisition is aimed at expanding Quest Global's ability to deliver integrated engineering and testing solutions for increasingly sophisticated wearable products. The deal brings together Quest Global's global engineering expertise with Tests Assured's specialised capabilities in quality assurance, technology-enabled testing and product validation.
Headquartered in San Jose, California, Tests Assured specialises in testing immersive products, smart devices, wearables and associated hardware and software platforms. Its expertise spans augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), extended reality (XR), smart-glasses testing, biometric validation, human-interaction modelling, computer-vision data collection, consumer software and artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled devices.
The acquisition is expected to enhance Quest Global's ability to support customers throughout the product development lifecycle, from engineering and validation to testing and performance optimisation. It also strengthens the company's position in the rapidly evolving wearables industry, where the integration of hardware, software, AI and human-machine interaction is creating increasingly complex engineering requirements.
Ajit Prabhu, Co-Founder and CEO, Quest Global, said: "Wearable technology is becoming more sophisticated by the day, bringing together complex hardware, software, AI and human interaction. Tests Assured brings deep expertise in validating these experiences. It complements our engineering capabilities and strengthens our ability to support customers across the product lifecycle. This acquisition marks an important step in our goal to expand our capabilities and deepens the expertise we bring to customers across the wearable’s ecosystem”.
Founded in 2018, Tests Assured has established a presence among global wearable-device companies through its specialised testing services and technical expertise. The company operates from a 23,500 sq ft facility in San Jose, supporting quality assurance operations, XR and wearable-device testing, TA Studios, training and management functions.
Its delivery network includes on-site teams in Burlingame, California; Redmond, Washington; and New York, alongside remote delivery operations from San Jose. These capabilities will complement Quest Global's existing engineering infrastructure and support the development of broader testing and validation services for high-tech customers.
Imad Abdelgawad, Founder and CEO, Tests Assured, said: “Joining Quest Global represents an exciting new chapter for Tests Assured. We have built our success on technical excellence, strong client relationships, and the dedication of our talented team. By bringing together our expertise in quality assurance and emerging technologies with Quest Global’s global engineering capabilities, we aim to expand our reach, accelerate innovation, and create new opportunities for our employees and customers. I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished and excited about what we can achieve together.”
The combination is expected to create opportunities for both companies to expand their services to existing customers while pursuing new business across the high-tech and semiconductor industries.
As wearable devices become more advanced, manufacturers face growing demands for precise biometric validation, reliable computer-vision performance, seamless software integration and consistent user experiences. By combining engineering services with specialised testing capabilities, Quest Global aims to address these requirements more comprehensively.
The acquisition also aligns with Quest Global's broader strategy of strengthening its engineering capabilities across emerging technologies and high-growth industry segments.
Quest Global operates in more than 22 countries, with 96 delivery centres and a workforce exceeding 23,000 employees. Its engineering services span aerospace and defence, automotive, energy, high-tech, medical technology and healthcare, rail and semiconductors.
By integrating Tests Assured's specialist expertise and established customer relationships, Quest Global aims to accelerate innovation, enhance product validation capabilities and expand its presence in the global wearable technology ecosystem.
