streamline development. Zoetrope delivers consulting and
projects.

10. Overlock
IoT Reliability tool

11. About Overlock
The problem: IoT devices operate in unpredictable environments. Data transfer
is slow and expensive, and devices are low-power with limited storage.
Overlock provides: A logging and exception tracking tool for IoT devices, from
microcontrollers to embedded Linux. When an error occurs, see the stack trace,
device state and log messages to help you find the root of the problem
How: Unique agent-based architecture which monitors device state and reports
issues to the Overlock platform
Status: Private beta, get in touch for early access

12. Tavern: API testing
Problem: Integration testing HTTP/MQTT/CoAP together is hard!
Tavern Provides: An open source library for testing web systems and IoT
systems. Supports HTTP+MQTT at the moment
How: Simple yaml based syntax for writing tests and assertions, designed to
be extended in python
Status: 100s of users, available on Github
