Test Automation for IoT solutions - A Paradigm shift

IOT is evolving at a rapid pace and testing of the solutions encompasses a multitude of systems. Anything but trivial for the test architect and the teams executing – as it needs to include in-house and out-sourced devices – each with its own firmware, interfaces and timing, interacting with latency in an Application built in a cloud architecture, that includes a communication layer, Servers, and user interface. Use case analysis for such scenarios using traditional methods is a thankless, painstaking and endless task. In the real world, events generated from devices are based on a larger combination of a set of stimuli. Most events are asynchronous posing a challenge to the tester in identifying a starting point and subsequent flow of events. This results in exhaustive Permutations which are impossible to achieve with traditional testing

methods.

 

Automation test generation and execution provide actionable solutions. Real life case-studies will be presented.
