The Internet of things (IoT) was introduced to remove the gap between the physical and digital world.
IoT connects various things or devices such as home appliances, industrial devices, vehicles, medicinal equipment with computers or smart phones through the internet and therefore turns them into smart devices which can sense and communicate with each other without human intervention.
The sensors on these things gathers data and the IoT platforms analyses the digital data and employs mechanism to help decision makers to implement intelligent and cost-effective solutions on their smart devices or things.
Our expertise and understanding on the IoT architecture are shown below. Though IoT architecture may vary from solution to solution but the core building blocks roughly sums up as shown below.
A layered approach to any IoT solution would consist of the following components which is explained in detailed below.
Our Segment-Wise approach in IoT testing to ensure that there is 100% test coverage of IoT system is as shown below.
Smart / Wearable Devices Testing
Our team has a good expertise on smart devices testing and especially wearable device testing that includes a typical example of smart watch application which covers testing such as performance, accessibility, and end to end testing.
Connected Devices Testing
The connected devices have influenced the way media platforms are being operated these days. As part of our offerings, we have good skillset on testing applications on Connected Devices platforms such as Android TV, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast
This test is crucial since the connectivity is an important factor in IoT. We have good expertise on testing the connectivity between the devices and the applications in IoT network to ensure there are no loss of connectivity or intermittent connectivity, a stable bi-directional connectivity and consistent network performance under peak loads.
Cloud testing Involves cloud services integration, data security and management, migration testing such as during IoT systems upgrade or changes and finally data transmission using protocols like REST, HTTP etc.
The application testing typically covers functional, usability, performance, accessibility, and end to end testing. Our team ensures that the APIs/SDKs are tested to ensure that data is intact and to ensure that the integration with third party devices within the IoT systems are as expected.
We provide the following test services in IoT testing.
