Description (French)
Ce projet permettra de faire évoluer l’infrastructure de test de REDspace afin d’y inclure un laboratoire d’appareils «sans tête» évolutif, destiné à tester et à valider des applications sur une large gamme de téléviseurs connectés et d’appareils de diffusion en continu. Les travaux porteront sur l’accessibilité des appareils, l’automatisation, l’observabilité, l’interaction à distance et l’évolutivité opérationnelle, tout en prenant en charge des flux de travail de test sécurisés pour les équipes internes et les futurs cas d’utilisation externes. Le projet vise à réduire le coût, la complexité et l’encombrement physique des tests multiappareils, tout en améliorant la fiabilité et la couverture au sein d’écosystèmes d’appareils fragmentés.
