Build Test Scripts for Your IoT Platform

In a previous article, I introduced the open-source test tool JMeter and used a simple HTTP test as an example to demonstrate its capabilities. This article shows you how to build test scripts for complex test scenarios.

The user interface displays a JMeter test script in the "tree" format. The saved test script (in the .jmxformat) is XML. The JMeter script tree treats a test plan as the root node, and the test plan includes all test components. In the test plan, you can configure user-defined variables called by components throughout the entire test plan. Variables can also thread group behavior, library files used in the test, and so on. You can build rich test scenarios using various test components in the test plan.

Test an IoT Platform With Open-Source Tools

Introduction

The IoT industry is developing explosively. As the scale of endpoints continues to grow and business logic becomes more complex, it is necessary to verify the availability and reliability of the platform when a large number of devices are connected before the IoT platform is officially launched so as to ensure system quality. Therefore, the value and necessity of IoT performance tests are gradually highlighted. If you're delivering services, then testing your IoT system can help you find bottlenecks in performance and help you plan ahead for scalability.

IoT can consist of any number of different devices using diverse protocols strung together with complex integration architecture. This can make it challenging to design effective and meaningful tests for it. This series of articles will take the IoT platform based on EMQX as an example to introduce how to use performance test tools to verify and test platform-related quality indicators.

Build an Advanced RAG App: Query Rewriting
