D5.2 Integrated BEACONING platform test analysis

To optimize the project outcomes, D5.2 Integrated BEACONING platform test analysis focuses on testing the components’ readiness for integration and the platform integration workflows, in order to ensure a streamlined interaction for end-users across the platform components. The deliverable builds upon the outcomes of D3.6 System architecture and the initial outcomes of T5.1 Test of the single components. In M18, the key BEACONING components were partly ready for testing (Alpha version of the Platform), and a global test can be performed in M28 when the integrated BEACONING Ecosystem is due. This deliverable includes test cards for testing component-to-component integration. It also includes theoretical guidelines for the testing when not feasible to actually test components at this point. It describes possible risks and recommendations for risk mitigation. When all of the components have been completed, performance evaluation will involve a review of the integration phase of the system and a global test to verify the performance of the system in a laboratory environment. The tests will include assessment of accuracy, general system reliability, communication performance between multi-agents, and usability. The validation will also be in-line with the pre-pilot stage (for WP6) in order to evaluate the proposed indicators and measures for pre-pilot readiness.
