The applications and advantages of internet of things (IoT) testing

What Is IoT?


Most advancements in technology have a common purpose: to make our everyday routines simpler, better, and more manageable. IoT, or the Internet of Things, has revolutionized our daily lives by connecting common objects- appliances, vehicles, watches, baby monitors- to the internet. IoT helps create seamless communication between people, processes, and things by using embedded devices. 


Our dependence on IoT devices is steadily increasing, and they are expected to generate $4-11 trillion in economic value in the next three years. This makes it essential to conduct thorough IoT testing to ensure a functional, safe and reliable end product.

“What the Internet of Things is really about is information technology that can gather its own information,” says British tech entrepreneur Kevin Ashton who coined the term in 1999. “Often what it does with that information is not tell a human being something, it [just] does something.”


IoT allows us to control devices remotely over a network by harnessing the power of low-cost computing, analytics, the cloud, big data, and mobile technologies. First, let us look at some real-life applications of IoT.


Where Is IoT Used?


  • Wearable Technology


Wearable devices such as the Apple Watch and FitBits connect seamlessly with your smartphones. These devices can capture fitness and health data and display notifications from your mobile devices using IoT.


  • Healthcare


The healthcare industry invests heavily in IoT device testing. From advancements in prosthetics and dispensing of medicines to the real-time monitoring of medical equipment, IoT has endless uses in the medical field. For example, apps such as UroSense use IoT to gauge the fluid level in the user’s body and initiate fluid transfers accordingly. For more details visit the below link.
