Abstract :
The design of distributed, wireless, and embedded system is a tedious and error-prone process. Experiences from previous real-world wireless sensor network (WSN) deployments strongly indicate that it is vital to follow a systematic design approach to satisfy all design requirements including robustness and reliability. Such a design methodology needs to include an end-to-end testing methodology. The proposed framework for WSN testing allows to apply distributed unit testing concepts in the development process. The tool flow decreases test time and allows for monitoring the correctness of the implementation throughout the development process.
