An Insight on Testing the IoT Applications
- 2. IoT Overview The Internet of Things has enabled enterprises to build smart and connected applications to support multiple dimensions of customer service and engagement. According to recent reports, the number of connected “things” is expected to reach 25 billion by 2020. Owing to these developments in IoT, smart and connected solutions will enable enterprises to monitor client’s real world experiences through software and provide services across the complete range of business and consumer scenarios.
- 3. Complexity of IoT systems IoT applications are characterised by various factors which make them highly complex: Combination of sensors, hardware, connectors, application software, and gateways in a single system Support for data volume, variety, veracity, and velocity Visualisation of large-scale data Real-time complex event programming / stream analytics
- 4. Challenges in IoT adoption
- 5. Tailor your approach to IoT testing All these challenges make testing for IoT applications difficult and you need a powerful test strategy with an understanding of what your customers demand. The IoT applications need to go through the following tests: 1. Functional Testing 2. Security and privacy testing 3. Performance and real-time testing 4. Protocol and device interoperability testing 5. Edge testing 6. Network impact testing 7. End-user application testing
- 6. Key challenges that thwart IoT testing The growing number of connected devices also poses real challenges Real-time complexity: IoT applications can have several, real- time scenarios and its use cases are tremendously complex Dynamic environment: Contrasting to application testing that is performed in a defined environment, IoT consists of a dynamic environment with various devices and sensors in combination with intelligent software Scalability of the system: The real challenge lies in creating a test environment to assess functionality along with reliability and scalability
