エミュレーション技術の活用によるIoTシステムのテスト効率化

抄録

In the development of the IoT systems, because it is necessary to test in various combinations, it takes much cost and time to execute tests for each combination and to analyze failures. In this paper, we have proposed a testing environment of the IoT systems to solve this issue. The proposed testing environment enables the IoT systems to work on the PC using the emulation technologies and testers can easily monitor inputs and outputs of each IoT device. The environment also automates combination tests and facilitates to manage the files for the automated test by managing functions to be tested and configurations to be tested separately. We have developed a prototype of the proposed testing environment for an air conditioning IoT system and verified that the environment had reduced the time to execute combination tests and to analyze failures.
