Three Major Prerequisites for IoT performance Testing

Posted By : Richa Sharma | 15-Jan-2021

One will soon realize that the Internet of Things solution is distinctive and testing end-to-end Performance Testing is tough. This blog provides insight into what is required on how to solve such problems in IoT Performance tools. 

The best IoT performance tools are developed to help companies reduce the possibility of rising IoT solutions and speeding their time to market. IoT software provides companies to Test and validate, and increase the ability of their end-to-end IoT solutions before they move to full-size production.

Companies invest a lot of time and endeavor to grasp the technical prerequisite of their IoT solutions. Therefore it comes as no surprise that these companies value quantitative performance data that aid them to start their IoT solutions. There are three major prerequisites that a company must have when they look for the best IoT performance testing software.

Prerequisites 1: Testing should support all the quintessential IoT agreements 

The finest IoT testing software helps all the device- to - cloud agreements including MQTT, HTTP(s), Websocket, and LwM2M. IoT solutions are a blend of communications agreements, so it is analytical that companies test each agreement’s performance. Watch out for legacy performance testing solutions: they are built for Internet website testing and do not assist all these IoT agreements. These legacy solutions leave major key points of IoT solutions with testing, which further leads to building deployment failure when an enterprise measures its IoT solution. Smart companies ensure their software testing solutions can address all of their IoT needs across all IoT agreements.

Prerequisite 2: Testing should cover the end-to-end IoT solution

A company must ensure that it can test its full-stack, end-to-end IoT solution at the production-level. To only test data consumption without testing the device-twin service, event processing workflow, or analytics pipeline is like buying groceries without getting halfway to the store. Best companies choose IoT load testing solutions that can imitate an entire E2E message workflow from gadget to platform and platform to gadget with very practical, virtual IoT workers that can continue through the entire testing process, whether that takes 5 minutes or 5 days.

Prerequisite 3: Testing should be simple, Practicable, and Profitable

DevOps and engineering must find it easy to accomplish testing and IoT Computations. At first, a test should be conducted which should require no more than 5 comprehensive steps and the tester should provide all the support to aid the IoT testing process. And secondly, Testing tools must use Template-driven designs such as creating multiple test scenarios as easy as “turning set of knobs”. Moreover, thirdly, Best IoT performance testing should be built with a serverless architecture such as using infrastructure as code in such a way that deployment of test infrastructure takes lesser time compared to the time it's taking right now and clients can pass their economic development savings to their customers. 

There are so many load testing and performance testing tools in the market, but these tools are mediocre choices for Iot testing. We can only test the Iot arrangements, leaving most of the solutions untested. However We cant test an end -2 - end IoT Solutions, We can only launch packets at a server and try to measure performance at the aggregate level. This makes DevOps and IoT team trying to make performance enhancements to their End-2-End Iot solution with extremely incomplete data. 

And thus we require IoT Engineers to make custom-designed scenarios for each test run and budget of hundreds and thousands of dollars for higher scale testing.

Conclusion

IoT load and performance testing are built for the specific needs of enterprise IoT deployments. By choosing best-in-class IoT testing tools like MIT-E Pf, enterprises can quickly and cost-effectively test their End-2-End IoT solutions and shorten their time-to-market.
