IoT Dev+Test 2016 - Process & Metrics

A common problem in mobile and IoT systems is the large number and combinations of hardware, operational, and software configurations that need to be tested. For example, the so-called Android fragmentation problem might lead a test team to test hundreds of device and several software configurations, potentially yielding thousands or even tens of thousands of tests. Combinatorial testing, a technique involving mathematics and specific tooling, allows teams to reduce the number of test cases, while still assuring good error finding capabilities. Jon Hagar examines test combinatorial...
