Testing functionality of an internet of things environment

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method comprising:
• obtaining, for an Internet of Things (IoT) environment comprising a plurality of IoT devices, a description of the IoT environment;
• ascertaining, based on the description, one or more objective functions of the IoT environment;
• crawling online resources and discovering one or more example scenarios in which problems related to the ascertained one or more objective functions are identified, the one or more example scenarios each involving a respective set of IoT devices;
• and
• automatically testing the IoT environment to assess functionality of the IoT environment in performing at least one of the one or more objective functions, the automatically testing comprising selectively controlling communications between a set of IoT devices of the IoT environment, the set of IoT devices of the IoT environment being selected from the plurality of IoT devices of the IoT environment based on the one or more example scenarios discovered from the crawling.
