Testing FactoryTX VM

Some smoke tests that can be performed with the FactoryTX VM files to ensure basic functionality.

Balena Connectivity

• [ ] When the VM is powered on, it connects to the Internet and appears as a new device in the Balena dashboard for the application.
• [ ] In Balena, open a Terminal window to the Host OS and check the disk sizes (df -h). The /data directory should be about equivalent to the size of FactoryTX data disk.
• [ ] Push FactoryTX code to the VM and confirm that FactoryTX is deployed.
• [ ] Enable the Public Device URL option for the device and confirm that a FactoryTX UI is displayed.

FactoryTX Process in VM

Using the factorytx.conf example in the Quickstart guide, configure FactoryTX to receive, transform, and transmit records to a MA service environment.

• [ ] Total records: 5504
• [ ] Records for diecast:mssql stream: 3591
• [ ] Records for fusion:mssql stream: 1586
• [ ] Records for lasercut:mssql stream: 323
• [ ] Records for spraypaint:azure_lake stream: 4
