Risks and Rewards: Laboratory Testing Strategies for Smart Metering Interoperability
A clearly defined testing strategy in the laboratory is crucial for the successful implementation of smart metering systems in the field. This ensures that new features are thoroughly tested and compatible with each other. A comprehensive testing framework that encompasses various scenarios and edge cases is essential for guaranteeing the resilience of smart metering functionalities. The use of advanced testing tools such as automated test scripts and simulation environments enhances testing efficiency, allowing for rapid iteration, and making it a key component in the process of evolving the systems across all their components while ensuring their robustness.
