A digital twin is a highly consistent, software-based replica of a physical system that runs the same software, behaves like the real device, and can be interacted with as if it was the real thing.
Unlike traditional simulators that mock specific parts or APIs, a digital twin mirrors the actual device’s environment, allowing for realistic and early testing even before the hardware exists.
It’s like having a stand-by for your device that you can test, break, and explore without needing the physical hardware on hand.
