Testing automated smart device functions within smart environments

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to:

• determining correlations between a type of critical event and a plurality of smart device functions based on historic smart device usage data from a plurality of remote smart environments to determine which of the plurality of smart device functions to test with respect to the type of critical event;
• generate a test case for the type of critical event based on the determined correlations, wherein the test case is configured to initiate a test of a smart device command of a smart device to determine successful or unsuccessful implementation of the smart device command by the smart device;
• determine the test case is a match for a remote smart environment of a participant;
• dynamically schedule execution of the test case at the remote smart environment of the participant;
• and
• initiate the execution of the test case by a smart device controller of the remote smart environment of the participant, wherein the execution causes the smart device controller to test the smart device command.

A system comprising:

• a processor, a computer readable memory, and a computer readable storage medium;
• program instructions to predict an impending critical event associated with a location;
• program instructions to determine that a predetermined test case associated with the impending critical event is a match for multiple remote smart environments of a plurality of participants based on registration information regarding smart devices of the participants, wherein the predetermined test case comprises program instructions to initiate functions in a plurality of smart devices to test whether the functions can be implemented successfully, and program instructions to return test data to the system;
• program instructions to determine a schedule for execution of the test case at each of the respective remote smart environments of the participants;
• and
• program instructions to initiate the execution of the test case by at least one remote smart device controller of a respective remote smart environment of the participants based on the schedule;
• wherein the program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage medium for execution by the processor via the computer readable memory.
