• The Internet of Things (IoT) is expanding at an
  unprecedented pace. As IoT solutions become more
  complex, the need for comprehensive and efficient
  IoT testing increases.
• IoT Testing involves the process of testing the
  functionality, performance, and security of an
  IoT solution developed using IoT devices and
  platforms. IoT testing spans multiple layers,
  including the application layer, data management
  layer, network layer, and device layer, and
  involves a variety of test activities specific to
  each layer.
• Some of the key test activities include
  functional testing, usability testing,
  compatibility testing, data integration and
  validation testing, connectivity testing,
  protocol testing, and performance and security
  testing. However, there are several challenges
  associated with IoT testing.
• How is Cignitis IoT Lab-as-a-Service addressing
  these challenges?
• Cigniti, a global leader in software testing
  services, is addressing these challenges with IoT
  Lab-as-a-Service. This offering provides easy and
  on-demand access to an IoT test environment,

There are several market drivers for IoT Lab as a
Service. The primary drivers include accelerating
time to market, improving test coverage by
testing a wide suite of business, data, and
network scenarios, cost-effective access to
best-of-breed testing tools, test environment,
and IoT testing experts, lower testing cost by a
shift-left testing approach, increased test
automation, and reducing building and maintaining
homegrown simulators, an alternative to high-cost
dedicated physical lab setup, and
scalability. Tools Available in Cignitis IoT
Testing Lab Cignitis IoT Testing Lab offers
several licensed and open-source testing tools.
The current toolset includes Doppelio, IoTIFY,
and Hitachi Vantara Lumada platform, among
others. Non-commercial licenses related to all
commercial tools are readily available in the
lab. Clients can leverage these tools for a demo,
PoC, training, and solution development. Cigniti
considers onboarding additional tools based on
client preferences and project requirements on a
case-by-case basis.   While this blog post
