Testing IoT Apps with the Cloud

The industry move towards wearables is all the rage and taking advantage of these new devices doesn’t have to mean learning a whole new platform. For example the Microsoft Band is a multi-function wearable device that works with your smart phone to help you track heart rate, steps, calorie burn, sleep quality and be productive with email and calendar alerts and more. While you can quickly and easily build an app for the Band in just a few minutes how can you be sure the back end is up to the scale you’d need to support potential massive growth if it were to take off? Enter the cloud and tools available that we can use to load test and explore the performance characteristics of the solution. In this session we’ll take a look at what’s possible and walk thru the scenario to see first hand how it is done.
