SOFTWARE QUALITY ASSURANCE THROUGH MODEL BASED TEST PATTERN GENERATION AND TESTING FRAMEWORK FOR IoT APPLICATIONS

Abstract

IoT is a connection of identifiable embedded devices with the existing Internet infrastructure. IoT is the network that consists of devices, vehicles, buildings or any other connected electronic devices. This interconnection facilitates collection and exchange of data. To cover the complex IoT application architecture and scenarios, a large volume of data prediction and different variety of data, compatibility with different devices organizations need to implement with unique IoT testing (QA) strategy to ensure the reliability of the products and devices. To validate the IoT applications various software testing approaches from our regular QA practices setups require for an IoT. There are three IoT core components via Devices, Communication between the devices and computing the amount of data that needs to be processed and analyzed. IoT testing is a type of testing to check IoT devices. There is a huge demand to access, create, use and share data from any device. The thrust is to provide greater insight and control, over various interconnected IoT devices. Hence, IoT testing framework is important. newlineThe proposed work addresses the solution to improve the quality of the IoT applications using the proposed prototype based testing framework (PBTF). The proposed work addresses the problematic of the validation of the Internet of Things (IoT). More specifically, it provides answers that address the key challenges of scalability, interoperability, and security of the IoT with real test cases. PBTF used for the IoT conformance testing shows that the specificities in generating test cases to validate the correct behavior of a system under test with respect to its standard lies in the model creation. In this case, the prototype is a representation of the standard. Any test executed on the system under test that fails could represent a gap between the specification and implementation, or compliance from the system under test towards the standard it is implementing. newlineThe need for quality assurance in the field of the IoT
