Title: The Need for IoT Testing in a Hyperconnected World
1The need for IoT testing in a hyperconnected world
2 Introduction There are a number of things that
have changed things that demarcate this world
into pre-COVID and post-COVID. Technology is one
of them. The outbreak has changed how people
perceive technology and how much penetration of
technology they want in their lives. People
who were scared of trying autonomous vehicles and
driverless cars, those who were apprehensive of
the delivery drones and remote monitoring tools,
are now being more open to the idea of such
technological advancements becoming a critical
part of their day-to-day lives. In the time when
social distancing is essential, these
technologies have been and will continue to be
inevitable for ensuring that lives, in general,
run as usual. From healthcare institutions to
manufacturers and industrialists, everyone is
looking up to digital technology solutions for
finding an innovative way for surviving, and
maybe thriving, in a pandemic-ridden
world. Robots are making food deliveries,
unmanned vehicles are transporting essential
medical supplies, small-time retailers have gone
digital, while schools and offices are operating
remotely.
3 Steve Koening, VP of Market Research for the
Consumer Technology Association, accurately said,
COVID-19 is stimulating innovation to adapt to a
new normaland shifting consumer behavior If
we look at the bigger picture, comprised of all
these smaller elements, the pandemic has resulted
in a one, gigantic, highly-intertwined, always
connected, continuous, and collaborative
digital network of Internet of Things (IoT),
which leads to Internet of Everything
(IoE). Internet of Things connects digital
devices and Internet of Everything, as the name
suggests, connects everything. It connects
people, processes, and data to deliver a unified
experience to the users, with the goal to have
new capabilities, richer experiences, and
unprecedented economic opportunity for business,
individuals, and countries.
4- The global number of IoT-connected devices
is projected to increase to 43 billion in the
next three years. In the last few years, IoT has
shifted from being a tech opportunity to a
business opportunity. And now, it is offering us
the opportunity to continue and keep moving
forward in the time when everything is at
a standstill. However, for ensuring that the IoT
applications serve as intended, it is important
to address five key factors Connectivity,
Continuity, Compliance, Co-existence, and
Cybersecurity. - Connectivity To ensure connection of an IoT
device with other IoT devices, the cloud,
sensors, and anything that is required to be in
the network for building a unified experience. - Continuity To ascertain the ability of the IoT
devices to deliver continuously. - Compliance To make the IoT devices compliant to
the global regulations - Co-existence For guaranteeing that the
inter-connected IoT devices work seamlessly and
harmoniously with one another. - Cybersecurity To safeguard the IoT devices and
the data generated from malicious cyber risks and
any security vulnerabilities. - Read Full Blog at https//www.cigniti.com/blog/io
