Systems and methods for lab generation, test management and device monitoring

A computing system for device testing and management, the computing system comprising:

• at least one computing processor;
• and
• memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one computing processor, enable the computing system to:
• define a device integration package (DIP) that enables communication between the test automation system and the plurality of devices, the DIP including:
• a set of APIs that define a technical interface between the test automation system and the plurality of devices, the set of APIs being device-agnostic and configured to establish communication with the plurality of devices;
• and
• a configuration specification that defines how the test automation system interacts with each of the plurality of devices using the set of APIs;
• provide a cross-platform software agent to each of the plurality of devices or to a host connected to each of the plurality of devices;
• establish communication between a backend system and the plurality of devices using the DIP;
• distribute test jobs across the plurality of devices using a job scheduler;
• receive, at the backend system, test results and/or performance metrics collected by the software agent;
• process and aggregate, at the backend system, the test results and/or performance metrics in real-time;
• and
• provide, for display on a user device, the test results and/or performance metrics.
