Abstract

Popular test automation frameworks target the enterprise application testing but there is scarcity of test automation framework for device applications, especially for IoT domain. IoT testing paradigm throws a new set of challenges involving device integration, protocol adapters, task actuation, data integrity, security and non functional requirements. In this paper, we propose a scalable, lightweight device task actuation framework for IoT testing based on TCS Connected Universe Platform Device Management enabler. This framework can execute test suite on multiple remote devices spread across geographies and then show the results on the IoT tester’s screen. Moreover it has the ability to gather runtime device statistics during test execution, thus can do dynamic health check for IoT devices deployed on field.
