Summary
In this chapter, we covered the deployment and scaling of a solution in an operational environment. We addressed four key aspects of turning a Digital Twin prototype into a fully operational Digital Twin solution.
The first key aspect in turning a prototype into a production system is to address the functional testing of the Digital Twin solution. The testing process is to ensure that the Digital Twin solution performs the functions as specified at the requirements at the start of the prototype. In this chapter, we addressed various functional testing processes such as unit testing and black-box testing to illustrate how to test Digital Twins for full-scale deployment.
We described the process of creating a pilot implementation as the second aspect of turning a prototype into a production system. This reduces the risk of a project while proving the capabilities and value in a real-world application.
The third aspect in turning a prototype into a production system...
