Abstract:
In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of Internet of Things (IoT), mostly resulting from the increase in the number of ever-smaller devices being commercialized by different vendors with different purposes. These devices and the ecosystem that they are part of typically are highly complex due to their heterogeneous nature and are typically end-user focused. As a result, testing such systems becomes a challenge, especially when the system logic is configured by end users. To address such challenge, a low-code approach was designed that allows users with no programming, or testing knowledge, to test an IoT scenario with a set of sensors and actuators. This approach has a set of test patterns implemented out-of-the-box so the user simply executes the test suggested by the tool and observes the results. The work was validated in a case study involving a group of users with and without technical knowledge. The results showed that both groups managed to finish the tasks selected with ease. The results obtained during the validation phase with end users affirm that the approach eases the process of testing such systems.
