Performance Testing of IoT Devices involves checking the performance of the app and validating the response times based on different user loads, code optimization, and performance verification with low battery, less memory and variable network scenarios.
In recent times, the coverage area of
Internet of Things (IoT) has expanded exponentially and has become inclusive of
the everyday objects and appliances. The overall testing pattern of IoT devices
is completely different from those of regular web and mobile applications. Here,
performance testing is mainly concerned with testing the internal computation
between the devices and the network infrastructure. But, before we can discuss
the right approach of testing the performance of IoT, it is important to understand
the different challenges faced during testing.
Challenges
Testing APIs: A smart device needs to
work on a wide variety of devices and web browsers in order to maximize its
reach to the audience. This requires that the developers use API Testing and
performance testing tools in order to make sure that the web interface of the
IoT device works correctly with all the major browsers, platforms as well as a
number of screen sizes.
High Volume
Usage:
Service Virtualization is a good approach to run IoT Performance Testing on the
servers. The testers need to be aware of the threshold limits where the
infrastructure will eventually start demonstrating a degraded user experience.
An increased number of device volumes also imply that more devices will compete
for the same radio frequency spectrum causing slow communication with the
servers and end-users.
