IoT load testing versus IoT performance testing – 3 differences
MachNation is often asked about the differences between IoT load testing and IoT performance testing. Because Tempest, our testing software, was built to do both types of simulations, we thought it would be helpful to distinguish between the two. IoT load testing is a subset of IoT performance testing, so making the comparison is important. Difference 1: test purpose The ultimate goal of IoT load testing is to discover and mitigate an IoT platform’s scalability […]

Episode 16: All about IoT UX proof-of-concepts (with Josh Taubenheim of MachNation)
/
RSS Feed
Josh Taubenheim is a MachNation technology analyst and lead tester for MIT-E UX. MIT-E UX is focused on testing and benchmarking the user experience of IoT platforms by having MachNation develop, build, and rate the tasks involved in creating an IoT proof-of-concept (POC) in one or more competing IoT platforms. MIT-E UX helps platform vendors identify the strengths and weaknesses of their offering, and also gives them fact-based marketing materials to differentiate themselves in the […]
