We built a CertMate-based test and simulation environment for repeatedly validating the profiles of new services and devices added to the e-IoT platform.
The Korea Electric Power Research Institute’s e-IoT platform collects and analyzes data from IoT sensors installed on power equipment, including transformers, to identify equipment status and failure risks and to support remote control. To detect anomalies in power equipment in advance and expand into power services for smart homes, smart cities, smart factories and other areas, it must be possible to verify that new devices and services interwork reliably with the existing platform.
Adding a new e-IoT service required registering manufacturer, device type and gateway information, storing a profile for each service and then controlling the devices. A dedicated tester was needed to confirm that the actual data sent by devices matched expected values, run defined test cases repeatedly and manage results in a consistent format.
In the CertMate-based simulator, users can register new devices under test and gateway information and configure test plans for each service. They can select and run the required cases from predefined test items and analyze problem points by reviewing the behavior between devices and the platform in detailed logs.
Test conditions are configured by registering the manufacturer, device type, service profile and gateway information.
Required test cases are selected and run repeatedly to verify the behavior of the platform and devices.
Users can review the test environment, ATS information, summaries and per-item results, and generate reports in PDF and JSON formats.
Registration, execution, verdicts and reporting can be carried out with the same procedure whenever new devices and services are added, providing a foundation for the scalability and operational reliability of the e-IoT platform.
