Effective capacity also drops with load for many batteries, and there can be subtleties. Read all the data sheets and applications manuals from your suppliers.
Even very good firmware engineers can need reminders that everything you do with a battery operated device drains the battery.
Keysight, R&S, and Tektronix/Keithley all have nice battery test devices and battery test simulators. You can rent one if buying one takes your breath away.
Also IoT devices can require you to use very fast ammeters or sourcemeters to correctly measure net current or power. The RMS reading on your multimeter might not even register fast spin-up and spin-down on a BLE device. That's another use case for the Qiotech tool. Again, the big instrument makers make even nicer stuff. Call an FAE.
