Need & Importance of IoT Testing

2. “Testing is an infinite process of comparing the
invisible to the ambiguous in order to avoid the
unthinkable happening to the anonymous.” –
James Bach

8. • Real-time item traceability and addressability by RFIDs.
Tagging Things :
• Sensors act as primary devices to collect data from the
environment.
Feeling Things :
• Miniaturization and Nanotechnology has provoked the
ability of smaller things to interact and connect within
the “things” or “smart devices.”
Shrinking Things :
• Embedded intelligence in devices through sensors has
formed the network connection to the Internet. It can
make the “things” realizing the intelligent control.

20. The Malfunction of the nest thermostat has been attributed to software glitch. The problem began
with software update to may nest labs thermostat user, the update caused battery of the device to
drain and thousands of home went without heat and hot water.

21. National Grid replaced its old Oracle system with SAP software that was initially estimated to cost about
$383.8 million. Due to improper requirement and testing the project is estimated to cost National Grid a total
of $945.1 million.

23. • Ariane 5 Flight 501 $8 billion
• Soviet Gas Pipeline Explosion
• Heathrow Terminal 5 Opening –
• Therac-25 radiation therapy machine
• AT&T long distance network crash (January 15, 1990)
• Google's search notified users that all web site worldwide was malicious, including
google
• Toyota's electronic throttle control system (ETCS) had bugs that caused 89 people
were killed
• Drone ditches into housing estate

24. “Software testers do not make
software; they only make them
better.”

26. Testing is NOT only about finding functional defects
Testing is NOT anybody's Job
Testing is NOT cheap, Not Testing is Very expensive
Testing might take more time then time to develop
