# Performance Test IOT App on ESP8266 on a Drone

### Results from Performance Testing an IOT App Controlling the ESP8266 Microcomputer Mounted on a Drone

Have you thought about how you will test the performance of IoT apps and drones? Our new video demonstrates performance testing of an IOT application controlling the ESP8266 Microcomputer mounted on a drone! As you might expect, as the drone flies further away from the wireless base station, performance degrades. So how can you emulate that in your test lab?
