BugRaptors also work with the IoT testing. We ensures that the IoT permits objects to be sensed and controlled remotely through present network infrastructure, producing chances for more direct integration of the physical world into computer-based systems, as well as resulting in enhanced efficiency, accuracy and economic advantage; team have good experience in this type of testing. We have worked on Beacon technology. Beacons are small, low-cost, battery-operated pieces of hardware that can easily be attached to a wall. Every beacon has its unique UDID, major and minor characteristics for identification. These beacon details are saved on the server. Beacon device covers the indoor/outdoor areas in the building, underground parking area and the home appliances. Beacon device is connected with the smartphone via Bluetooth.

2. The Internet of Things could be the biggest software
development and testing opportunity of all time.
Though devices such as tablets, phones and wearable's
may already seem global, the IoT which is a vast,
networked array of sensors and embedded systems.
It can eventually scale-down all of them in its global
reach and number of services and applications.

3. A 2015 Business Insider Intelligence report predicted
that by 2020, Internet of Things could be bigger than
the combined size of the tablet, smartphone,
wearable, PC and connected car markets. Enterprises
are probably the most willing adopters of IoT
creativities, overtaking both governments and
consumers, routing to integrating more than 25 billion
devices into verticals such as retail and
manufacturing within the next four years hence
increasing the scope of testing IoT devices.

4. The Internet of things (IoT), software testers and
developers face new challenges that will expand their
skills and have need of best and latest quality
assurance software.

5. Upcoming years will be a rerun of what happened after
mobile devices took off in the late 2000s. At that time,
test engineers had to depend on factors such as
available bandwidth, current network coverage and
battery level which had been less tenacious with
traditional desktops and laptops.

6. The IoT also brings many new thing in terms of
testing requirements, counting major importance on
unusual device types such as home appliances and
also along with the minimal interfaces that have to
fit and work on a watch, thermostat etc. With
different set of products entering the IoT market, QA
teams need to carefully chalk the best test
management strategy in order to successfully meet
the quality standards of these products. Let's have a
look at what the future of IoT testing hold for
software testing teams:

7. One of the most hyped Internet of Things (IoT) used case is
home automation. Devices like Nest and Dropcam have
already made influences on the consumers, while
frameworks like Apple HomeKit are rolling out to weave
together and try the different parts of the connected home.
Which other devices are also present? What's the layout of
home? Dev/test teams can model many different types of
sensors, device states and houses. Testers can get a good
logic of what situations their services will face in the real
world.

8. Although it looks like the Internet of Things (IoT)
have a vast upside for today's businesses, its
possible downsides are worth nothing. In actual,
security breaks practically always come up in
conversations about what could possibly go wrong
with a system as vast and diverse as the Internet
of Things (IoT).
At the connectivity level you will see many
protocols being used for communication -
bluetooth, wifi, 3G, CDMA, etc. The transport
layer poses one set of security issues in terms of
encryption, access controls, authentication etc.

10. A 2014 study from HP expected that 70% of IoT devices
were exposed to attacks, the difficulty of resolving
everything in the IoT only complexes this issue. The
components of the IoT are not as uniform as
smartphones and PCs.
QA teams must examine a full range of possible
vulnerabilities in IoT services and products. Depending
on the item in question, this carefulness could take
the form of applying strict password rules, protecting
the boundary from unauthorized access and
confirming the use of encryption where appropriate.
The HP report found that insecure Web interfaces and
transport encryption were among the top issues with
the IoT.

11. With devices like Nest and Dropcam, software
testing is reasonably straightforward since the
hardware is well known in advance. Other
services such as cross platform cloud based
software create more complex scenarios for
quality assurance teams, since the client device
could be anything.

12. Something alike already exists with video streaming
sites such as Youtube, Netflix etc. which can be
accessed on anything from an HD LED TV to a
handheld gaming console.
In these cases, it may be useful to make a small set
of requirements that can be tweaked and ported
depending on the device. Usage analytics can also
give vision into what devices merit the Most energy
and time. Along the way, knowledge of the
significant APIs and updates will be essential for
performing valuable testing
