This document discusses Internet of Things (IoT) and its impact on testing. It begins with defining IoT and describing how it allows physical objects to be sensed and controlled remotely. It then outlines key verticals adopting IoT, typical IoT technology stacks, and how IoT will change testing approaches. Specifically, it notes that IoT systems will need to be tested for interoperability, different network types, security, and functionality across more devices and integrated users. It emphasizes that agile practices will be important for IoT delivery through continuous integration and deployment. The document concludes that skills like collaborative testing will be important for addressing the challenges of IoT testing.

6. The Internet of Things (IoT), also called Internet of Everything or Network of Everything, is the network of
physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and connectivity to enable objects to
exchange data with the production, operator and/or other connected devices based on the infrastructure of
International Telecommunication Union's Global Standards Initiative.
The Internet of Things allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network
infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration between the physical world and computer-based
systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit.

10. What is going to change in Testing?
The IoT Systems
need to be tested
for:
 Interoperability
The Big Change:
 More Devices/ Sensors
Confidential | Copyright © Agile Testing Alliance Global Gathering
 Interoperability
 Usability and Customer
Experience
 Conformance to
Standards
 Different type of networks
- Connectivity
 Context/ Location Based
 Security
 Functionality
 More Devices/ Sensors
 Integrated Users
 Adoption by various
verticals
 Plethora of Networks
and Protocols
 Multiple GEO’s
 Move from small to Big
data

11. IoT Testing Considerations
Smart things need to be tested in a
dynamic environment. In conjunction
with applications and sensors
Be ready to test for Big Data – real time
streaming of data from devices/sensors
Do you have the necessary
Infrastructure and systems to carry out
the testing?
Know your domain- As every domain
has a different conformance standards

Systems and Frameworks are required
to test the scenarios real time. Eg., a
Intelligent parking management system
requires its resources to test.
the testing?
Users as Testers – Think of new models
of engagement

13. What can be Done in testing?
Solution/Tools and Frameworks:
 Simulators for various verticals
 Templatization of Use Cases
– According to vertical
requirements
 Virtualization
Focus Areas/ Opportunities:
 Build IoT Skilled Testers
 Collaborative Testing organizations is going
to be key
 Collaborative Tools development
 IoT Testing Infrastructure – Labs, Simulators,

 Virtualization
 Network – Infrastructure
 Test Automation Frameworks
 Test Case Libraries
 Verified Domain Testers – For
Crowd Testing
 IoT Testing Infrastructure – Labs, Simulators,
Test Racks etc.,
 Remote testing is a key for success
 IoTTaaS – Internet of Things Testing as a
Service- Come up with new business model
for offering testing services

Integration & Delivery
 Have the deployment acceptance rates increased?
 Have your deployment rates increased?
 Are you finding more issues earlier in development and test?
 Do production environments have a smaller number of
outages and are those outages short?
