Quest Global buys wearables tester Tests Assured

What's the deal? Quest Global has acquired Tests AssuredDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, a US-based specialist in quality assurance and technology-enabled testing for wearables, smart devices, and immersive products. The deal was announced on November 9, 2026; terms were not disclosed.

Who are they? Quest Global is a Singapore-headquartered engineering services firm with more than 23,000 employees across 22 countries and 96 delivery centres. Tests Assured, founded in 2018 and based in San Jose, California, tests AR/VR/XR and smart-glasses hardware, validates biometrics, and models human interaction for wearable makers.

What's the endgame? Quest Global wants to turn wearable engineering into an integrated offering spanning the product lifecycle. "Wearable technology is becoming more sophisticated by the day, bringing together complex hardware, software, AI and human interaction," said co-founder and chief executive officer Ajit Prabhu.

Why now? The deal builds on Neprion, a service Quest Global launched in June to validate AI- and AR-enabled wearables. Tests Assured adds specialist testing in areas that matter as devices fuse hardware, software, connectivity, and AI.

The signal: With no price or financial impact disclosed, this reads as a targeted capability buy rather than a market-shifting deal — a bet that testing complex wearables is becoming its own engineering discipline.
