Testing the Internet of Things

摘要

Internet of Things (IoT) is achieving wide application and playing a more and more significant role in todays smart world. It is designed to make objects sensed and controlled remotely across network infrastructure, building integration of the physical world into information networks. The IoT connects every device with the internet for switching information and co-working with other devices. It extends and expands the communication between human and human, human and machine, or machine and machine, where a machine can be any physical entity. In Gartner's 2015 Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies - which illustrates how a technology stacks up against others in terms of maturity - the Internet of Things (IoT) is presented at the peak of the curve with high expectations as the new digital business paradigm that will offer fundamentally new ways for service- and value creation and extends previous approaches to manage eternal networked systems.
