Testbed

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A testbed is generally used to describe a scientific platform for experiments or research. The term comes from English and translated means test environment or test bench

Testbed in computer science

In computer science , a test bed represents a scientific environment for experiments. Unlike software simulators, test beds consist of real hardware and are subject to the physical influences of their environment. Depending on the research goal, this can also be B. include the everyday influence of university operations. The sizes of test beds can range from a few to hundreds of test bed nodes. Test beds are increasingly being used in the field of wireless mesh networks in order to conduct targeted research.

The disadvantage of a test bed, however, is the immense cost of the hardware and the effort involved in installing it. The hardware used can range from components off the shelf (shelf goods) to specially manufactured components. This depends, among other things, on the respective research budget of the operator.
