Testing

It is vital to test IoT implementations prior to deploying them into a production environment. This requires the use of an IoT test bed.

Functional testing of IoT device deployments requires the ability to scale to the number of devices that would typically be deployed in an enterprise. It may not be feasible to physically implement these numbers during initial test events. As such, a virtual test lab solution is required.

Products such as the Ravello nested hypervisor (https://cloud.oracle.com/en_US/ravello) provide the ability to upload and test virtual machines in a realistic, simulated environment. When applied to the IoT, leverage the use of containers (for example, Docker) to support the creation of baselines of the environment ...
