Non-functional Testing-Based Framework for Developing Reliable IoT Products

The statistics on worldwide IoT-connected devices predicts that the number of IoT devices will rise up to 60 billion by 2025. To meet the advancement which can ensure a competitive global Success and can promote continual improvement, Internet of Things (IoT) devices play an important role. One of the most recent changes in the communication technology is the paradigm shift from traditional systems to software-driven ones. In this context, IoT provides plenty of opportunities to pioneer new products and influence interconnected systems with large scalability. IoT-driven intelligent devices that are capable of performing automatic updates are very much required in the present scenario. Main problems with the companies building these devices are that non-functional aspects of these devices which will lead to device-related security risks were not given much importance. So as a result, device manufacturers have to take into considerations of various non-functional aspects when designing their products such as security, safety, scalability, reliability and performance. This paper proposes a layered IoT framework with a focus on non-functional testing aspects in order to enable the organizations to demonstrate themselves in leveraging the maximum potential in developing smarts products and stability in their business performance. � 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
