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 […]
