Abstract

This article discusses lessons learned from use of our publicly available wireless networking testbed, assert[1]. In [1] we discussed the design and implementation phase of a testbed based on a set of propositions. By opening the testbed to users not familiar with underlying architecture of assert, we put these propositions to the test. While fidelity of the testbed is a major challenge for developers, users assume the fidelity as a given and look for ease of use comparable with a simulator. We list the main demands by users of our testbed and the way we addressed these demands during an enhancement phase.
