Overview
With over 10 billion connected devices today, the IoT market is expected to reach $1.1 trillion by 2025. More than 86% of healthcare organizations, along with many in the electronics, travel, and aviation sectors, utilize IoT technology.Given IoT’s critical role, ensuring the performance of these applications is paramount. Performance testing for Internet of Things validate the quality of these applications and their infrastructure by simulating various real-world scenarios to identify potential issues. Although performance testing is never straightforward in any field, Internet of Things (IoT) testing poses additional challenges. Detecting a small error becomes much more complicated In the plethora of interconnected devices, and a single bug can affect the entire ecosystem. On top of that, these devices come with different operating systems, brands, native features, and data volumes. Planning a series of load tests under these circumstances puts an extra burden on QA teams and IT staff while also presenting them with new challenges.
