Connected Elevator Testing
A connected elevator provider moving to an as-a-service model needed to validate application performance at growing scale, without letting operational costs eat into margin. Here's how they replaced a homegrown simulator with unlimited virtual scale.
See how the connected elevator platform was validated at scale
A walkthrough of how the connected elevator platform was virtualized, simulated, and validated at scale.
Scaling a connected elevator platform without losing control of costs
The client was transforming its business to an as-a-service model, adding digitally enabled, smart after-market service offerings. Four realities made validation harder as the platform grew.
As-a-service transformation
The client was adding digitally enabled, smart after-market service offerings to its connected platform.
Data at scale
The connected platform had to collect and process very large amounts of data reliably.
Growing complexity
Increasing scale, multiple use cases in development, and ever-growing processing costs all added pressure.
Margin-conscious performance
The business needed to manage application performance at scale while controlling costs that directly affect margin.
From a homegrown simulator to unlimited virtual scale
- −Used a home-grown simulator that could not simulate large, device-like loads
- −Struggled to perform full-stack tests for complex flows such as FOTA
- −Hit limits on the scale it could support, and running and reporting across many VMs became unmanageable
- −Needed continuous enhancement and maintenance of the simulator code as the application evolved
- −Faced business escalations on scenarios that had passed validation using the homegrown simulator
- −Spent significant development time and effort enhancing and managing the home-grown simulator
- ✓Rapidly created virtual models of different device types and extensively simulated a wide range of data, network, and load conditions
- ✓Tested various scenarios quickly without writing simulation code
- ✓Validated the scalability of complex features like FOTA under realistic conditions
- ✓Tested for varying network conditions
- ✓Managed all of this through Doppelio's UI, with no dependency on developers
