Workshop Topic : Extreme Virtualisation in IoT

 

Testing an IoT doesn’t just involve test data, but it also involves environment data. As environmental parameters like temperature, pressure, lighting cannot be changed at will, virtualization becomes a crucial component of testing IoT devices. Just virtualization, however, is not enough to ensure fool-proof testing, and extreme virtualization is required. While sensors, wireless connectivity or digital applications are not new in themselves, the premise of IoT is that they all work together to deliver a specific use case. Thus, extreme virtualization does not only simulate the environment data, but also the messaging protocol and connectivity protocol for the entire device.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understanding of how Internet of Things work
  • Why Extreme virtualisation is important for testing IoT
  • A sample demo on extreme virtualization of a BLE based smart device
