1. A testing assembly for conducting reliability tests on liquid lenses, the testing assembly comprising:
a liquid lens comprising:
a lens body defining a cavity;
a first liquid disposed within the cavity; and
a second liquid disposed within the cavity that is substantially immiscible with the first liquid such that an interface between the first liquid and the second liquid forms a lens; and
a test frame arranged to receive the liquid lens, the test frame comprising:
a front wall; and
a back wall oriented substantially parallel to the front wall, wherein:
the liquid lens mounts to at least one of the front wall or the back wall; and
the test frame simulates a smart device incorporating a liquid lens.
