Chapter 9: IoT Testing, Deployment, and Performance Evaluation
This chapter emphasizes the importance of testing, structured deployment through CI/CD pipelines, and performance evaluation in IoT systems. Various testing types such as functional, interoperability, and security testing are explored alongside simulation tools like Cooja and NS-3 that facilitate pre-deployment validation. Standardized performance metrics play a crucial role in evaluating system behavior, while field testing addresses real-world variables. Collectively, these practices ensure robust, scalable, and reliable IoT solutions.
