SHSim: An OSGI-based smart home simulator
Zhang Lei, Yue Suo, Chen Yu, Yuanchun Shi · 2010
With the development of pervasive computing, smart home is increasingly popular. Smart Home usually requires an integration of many heterogeneous devices and service applications in deployment so it is hard and expensive to implement system test. To cope with this problem, this paper describes an OSGI-based smart home simulator named SHSim that is suitable for smart home test. SHSim is built on a dynamic mechanism that allows user to configure the system and test cases easily, and provides device transparent simulation meaning that virtual devices can transplant to real devices with no or little modifications. Practical applications show that SHSim can effectively improve development efficiency and reduce test cost.
