Abstract:
Urban areas around the world are being crowded and, in some cases, over populated. This leads to a new set of modern life problems, like traffic jams and natural resource depletion. Information technologies, under the alias of smart city or Internet of things, play a very important role helping analyze, understand, and solve these problems. The present work discusses the need for testing on smart cities and Internet of things field of study. Following this line of thought, it goes through how other researchers are testing and validating their projects. Finally, it presents an easy to use and customize way of generating cheap data mass for project validation.
