Test Path Identification for Internet of Things using Transaction Based Specification

摘要

The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming a valuable strength for establishing various domains such as smart cities, smart homes, and smart factories, health care, transportation, disaster management, smart grid and smart cars in the current digital word. Interrelating different sensor and physical nodes are revealing them as a service is a complex which is even more challenging for effective software testing. IoT-based services vary from web services testing since they usually interact with the physical environment via sensor. The problem during the software testing of IoT physical and virtual nodes is how to apply Model-Based Testing (MBT) approaches for enabling scalable and efficient test results. This paper introduces a novel test path identification framework to facilitate functional evaluation of IoT. The quality software services has been enhanced through the verification and validation methodologies. The proposed path identification approach with regard to validate the IoT software services and experiments shows that the proposed approaches can enhance the effective path coverage for IoT software testing.
