Need for a robust IoT test strategy

IOT technology, in the form of digital disruption, has entered the enterprise space at such a pace that companies do not have robust enough strategies to rigorously test the related hardware and software. Moreover, the huge volume of data getting captured and sent through IOT devices to the backend makes the system prone to performance bottlenecks.

An example could be your fitbit health device that captures your daily activity, food, and other health goals that you set up. Two key areas (among many others) that you would surely be concerned with are:

• Whether it captures the body movements accurately to count activity and calories consumed through the activity
• The performance of application when you synchronize the device with the application on server, especially considering that thousands of other users might be concurrently synchronizing their devices

As companies are pulling in technology from different sources, it becomes even more difficult to build...
