abstract = "Developing applications for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can provide many challenges. Environmental conditions have a large impact on the behavior of an application, but it may not be feasible to replicate the conditions of the deployment environment while creating the application. Furthermore, long-term deployment of monitoring applications require extensive pre-deployment analysis of such applications since the sensors cannot be accessed after their deployment. Through a combination of simulation and software engineering practices, it is possible to rigorously test and validate the software for WSNs. In this paper, several methods for simulating distributed mobile WSNs and testing the software are provided. These methods are used in the development of a WSN that was deployed to track Whooping Cranes during their year long migration.",
