According to Ericsson, there should be around 29 billion connected devices in 2022, of which around 18 billion will be related to the Internet of Things (IoT)1. This huge opportunity for connected devices doesn’t come without any hurdles or risks on the reliability and on the security of the devices deployed on the field.
Careful testing will be key to achieve reliable and interoperable Internet of Things solutions and get the benefits of the IoT revolution.
Whether it is to check compliance, performance or operations, the test strategies and plans used will have to be extremely efficient both in pre-deployment and post-deployment phases. Indeed, many of the devices released by the IoT manufacturers are designed to stay and operate on the field for several years.
Most of the time, the IoT devices will be updated through Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware downloads, requiring post update verification. Onboarding a relevant set of test scripts enables device manufacturers to check and prevent any unexpected regression.
At Mellonne we bring our Model-Based Testing methodology and our tools to design specific offboard or onboard test sets or complete test plans to ensure your IoT devices always behave and perform as per your specifications.
