Building a Device Lab

Creating a device testing lab of any size can be a challenge. Whether you have three devices or 30, you still have to deal with:

• Choosing which devices to use: whether they are used or new, and which give the most bang for your buck.
• Organization: such as cabling, stands, labels, access to power, and ease of use.
• Power: finding the right USB hub and power supply solutions, discovering which devices are faulting or overdrawing power, and monitoring energy consumption.
• Setup: base imaging each device and having a standard, consistent config across the board for devices
• User experience of the lab: ensuring your users plug things back in correctly, return them in a timely manner, have access to development environments and a default email app, and are able to check devices in/out so you know where the devices are.
