Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the field of device testing. In one embodiment, a method is provided for testing a resource constrained device. The method includes determining a test case for testing the resource constrained device, and accessing a test script corresponding to the test case. The test script includes a set of mutually independent primitive executables. The method further includes transmitting each of the set of primitive executables to the resource constrained device for execution, and receiving a result corresponding to the execution of the each of the set of primitive executables.
