A test suite that can be used to interact with a fake device is installed when configured with -Dbuild=all and -Dtests=true.
The test files have been signed by the production LVFS instance, and are available here:
By default this test suite is disabled.
To enable the test suite:
fwupdtool enable-test-devices
When the daemon is started with the test suite enabled a fake webcam device will be created with a pending update.
