ConTEST NYC 2019

IoT has been a buzzword for few years already. Everybody talks about it and you can find a lot of information everywhere. Even though it is not quite new, still not a lot of people know how it really works and what are the possibilities with it. In order to test the hardware and software included in IoT system, there are lots of challenges. Knowledge and mindset which testers must have to answer them can vary from the constant improvement of understanding the hardware parts itself to thinking about the end user’s behavior on several levels.

Milena and Dejan will share with you their experience of testing the smart vending machine as an IoT device. The process of transforming one simple automat to the smart vending machine as part of the big IoT system demands constant changing of testing approach and techniques. They will give you real-life examples and share their story. Making hardware smart and testing it constantly inside the IoT system is an everyday challenge for them. Join this presentation to find out how to overcome those challenges of testing a big complex IoT devices.

Key takeaways:
* Why product context is important when defining test approach
* Which skills can tester learn during testing complex IoT systems and devices
* What is the future of testing holds and how testing will be evolving around new IoT technologies
