The internet of things (IoT) is aimed at modifying the life of people by adopting the possible computing techniques to the physical world, and thus transforming the computing environment from centralized form to decentralized form. Most of the smart devices receive the data from other smart devices over the network and perform actions based on their implemented programs. Thus, testing becomes an intensive process in the IoT that will require some normalization too. The composite architecture of IoT systems and their distinctive characteristics require different variants of testing to be done on the components of IoT systems. This chapter will discuss the necessity for IoT testing in terms of various criteria of identifying and fixing the problems in the IoT systems. In addition, this chapter examines the core components to be focused on IoT testing and testing scope based on IoT device classification. It also elaborates the various types of testing applied on healthcare IoT applications, and finally, this chapter summarizes the various challenges faced during IoT testing.

The Internet of Things (IoT) connects smart devices to enable various intelligent services. The deployment of IoT encounters several challenges, such as difficulties in controlling and managing IoT applications and networks, problems in programming existing IoT devices, long service provisioning time, underused resources, as well as complexity, isolation and scalability, among others. One fundamental concern is that current IoT networks lack flexibility and intelligence. A network-wide flexible control and management are missing in IoT networks. In addition, huge numbers of devices and large amounts of data are involved in IoT, but none of them have been tuned for supporting network management and control. In this paper, we argue that Software-defined Networking (SDN) together with the data generated by IoT applications can enhance the control and management of IoT in terms of flexibility and intelligence. We present a review for the evolution of SDN and IoT and analyze the benefits and challenges brought by the integration of SDN and IoT with the help of IoT data. We discuss the perspectives of knowledge-driven SDN for IoT through a new IoT architecture and illustrate how to realize Industry IoT by using the architecture. We also highlight the challenges and future research works toward realizing IoT with the knowledge-driven SDN.

Communication between people isunavoidable nowadays; sending and receiving information through internet among people is our daily routine which is known as Internet of People. Hence, this kind of communication has grown even more, making possible to communicate not just people but also things which is known as Internet of Things, one of the trendiest technology. The Internet of Things or IoT refers to the billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the internet, collecting and sharing data.The increase of population in urban places and their requirements impose the creation of a system that will satisfy all of these requirements. Due to the increasing number of population the numbers of things that people own has grown enormously. Therefore, this fact generated the idea of adding sensors and intelligence to basic objects. Thanks to cheap processors, wireless network,sensors and actuators is possible to turn anything, from a pill to an aeroplane, into part of the Internet of Things. Combining these digital things in the past was very difficult or barely possible simply because the technology was not ready. The IoT integrates the interconnectedness of human culture- our “things” with the interconnectedness of our digital information system- “the internet”.The development of modern technologies and the Internet of Things establishmentmerged the digital and physical worlds, namely adding digital intelligence to devices that would be otherwise dumb, enabling them to communicate.The potential of this tendencyincreases day by day, enabling a very wide usage. The Internet of Things aims to provide a simple interaction between the physical world and virtual world, integrating a large number of devices of the real world to the internet. The Internet of Things promises to make our environment - our homes,offices and vehicles smarter, more measurable and chattier.The benefits of Internet of Things depend on the particular implementation, but the key is that enterprises should have access to more data about their own things and their own internal system and a greater ability to make changes as a result. It is impossible to predict all IoT applications considering the swift progress of technology and the diversely requirements of consumers. Thus, in our paper we will mention some of the most used and most important applications of IoT, as well the benefits of its implementation in different platforms in different environments. In the end, we emphasize the challenges we face during IoT application, moreoverthe common issues in the adoption of IoT on a large scale.

In the Internet of Things era, users are willing to personalize the joint behavior of their connected entities, i.e., smart devices and online service, by means of trigger-action rules such as “IF the entrance Nest security camera detects a movement, THEN blink the Philips Hue lamp in the kitchen.” Unfortunately, the spread of new supported technologies makes the number of possible combinations between triggers and actions continuously growing, thus motivating the need of assisting users in discovering new rules and functionality, e.g., through recommendation techniques. To this end, we present , a semantic Conversational Search and Recommendation (CSR) system able to suggest pertinent IF-THEN rules that can be easily deployed in different contexts starting from an abstract user’s need. By exploiting a conversational agent, the user can communicate her current personalization intention by specifying a set of functionality at a high level, e.g., to decrease the temperature of a room when she left it. Stemming from this input, implements a semantic recommendation process that takes into account ( a ) the current user’s intention , ( b ) the connected entities owned by the user, and ( c ) the user’s long-term preferences revealed by her profile. If not satisfied with the suggestions, then the user can converse with the system to provide further feedback, i.e., a short-term preference , thus allowing to provide refined recommendations that better align with the original intention. We evaluate by running different offline experiments with simulated users and real-world data. First, we test the recommendation process in different configurations, and we show that recommendation accuracy and similarity with target items increase as the interaction between the algorithm and the user proceeds. Then, we compare with other similar baseline recommender systems. Results are promising and demonstrate the effectiveness of in recommending IF-THEN rules that satisfy the current personalization intention of the user.
