Testing of future software of ecosystem in the living lab "smart farming"

Abstract

The article “Testing of Future Software of Ecosystem in the Living Lab ‘Smart Farming’” focuses on the testing and practical evaluation of emerging software technologies within a living laboratory environment dedicated to smart farming. The concept of a living lab provides an opportunity to examine new digital solutions under practical conditions and to understand how they can support modern agricultural activities.

Smart farming increasingly relies on digital technologies for collecting, managing and analysing information related to agricultural environments. Software systems can help connect different types of information and support more structured approaches to monitoring and managing agricultural processes.

The article highlights the importance of testing future software before its wider implementation. A living lab environment can provide a practical setting in which new systems are evaluated, user experiences are considered and potential applications are examined under realistic conditions.

The discussion reflects the growing connection between agriculture, information technology and geospatial systems. By testing software within a smart farming environment, developers and users can gain insights into its practical usefulness and identify areas for further improvement. The article therefore presents the living lab approach as an important step toward developing and evaluating future digital solutions for smart farming and ecosystem-related applications.
