“…To address the above issues, there has been a strong interest in the area of testing tools and methodologies for wireless connected products [5] [6]. Such tools enable manufacturers to evaluate the wireless performance of their connected devices during all product life-cycle stages, starting from the early prototype design and product development up to final acceptance and after-sales support.…”

Because of the recent advances in wireless technologies and, consequently the fast growing number of wireless devices that are being deployed in consumer houses, there is a growing demand from manufacturers to develop and deploy tools able to diagnose problems and evaluate the performance of their products prior to releasing them to the market. Such testing tools are required to be quickly deployable in real-life home environments and should support various wireless technologies and use cases. In order to avoid future product service failures and costly complex troubleshooting, the results should offer a full understanding of the product behavior on the field. Different approaches able to fulfill these objectives have been proposed in literature. In this paper, we propose a new portable and highly flexible testbed tool to evaluate the performance of wireless devices in consumer houses. Furthermore we demonstrate the feasibility and operation of the testbed in two real-life home environments for assessing the impact of range extenders on wireless communication performance.

Abstract. Research on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has developed highly optimized software environments fitting the limited hardware resource constraints of Motes. Unfortunately, these environments suffer from relatively complex programming models. Nowadays well known languages such as Java and optimized JVMs become available and simplify the application development for the Motes. Thus, we developed the Freemote Emulator which is a Java based emulator providing a lightweight emulation tool for emerging Java based Motes. It runs experiments in real time mixing real and emulated nodes. Its layered architecture and a set of predefined code templates allow developers to quickly produce runnable code for real and emulated nodes as well as predefined scenarios to help the newcomers to introduce into the system and WSNs. Our emulator provides as well a useful visualization tool based on a parametrizable slow down feature that helps to understand complex WSN behaviours and to debug tricky implementation problems. Finally, a single emulation can run on several computers, thus allowing programmers to conduct experiments with a pretty large number of emulated and real nodes.
