Automated and Reproducible Application Traces Generation for IoT Applications

In this paper, we investigate and present how to generate application traces of IoT (Internet of Things) Applications in an automated, repeatable and reproducible manner. By using the FIT IoT-Lab large scale testbed and relying on state-of-the-art software engineering techniques, we are able to produce, collect and share artifacts and datasets in an automated way. This makes it easy to track the impact of software updates or changes in the radio environment both on a small scale, e.g. during a single day, and on a large scale, e.g. during several weeks. By providing both the source code for the trace generation as well as the resulting datasets, we hope to reduce the learning curve to develop such applications and encourage re-usability as well as pave the way for the replication of our results. While we focus in this work on IoT networks, we believe such an approach could be of used in many other networking domains.
