Aspects of Quality in Internet of Things (IoT) Solutions: A Systematic Mapping Study
Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology that has the promising
power to change our future. Due to the market pressure, IoT systems may be
released without sufficient testing. However, it is no longer acceptable to
release IoT systems to the market without assuring the quality. As in the case
of new technologies, the quality assurance process is a challenging task. This
paper shows the results of the first comprehensive and systematic mapping study
to structure and categories the research evidence in the literature starting in
2009 when the early publication of IoT papers for IoT quality assurance
appeared. The conducted research is based on the most recent guidelines on how
to perform systematic mapping studies. A set of research questions is defined
carefully regarding the quality aspects of the IoT. Based on these questions, a
large number of evidence and research papers is considered in the study (478
papers). We have extracted and analyzed different levels of information from
those considered papers. Also, we have classified the topics addressed in those
papers into categories based on the quality aspects. The study results carry
out different areas that require more work and investigation in the context of
IoT quality assurance. The results of the study can help in a further
understanding of the research gaps. Moreover, the results show a roadmap for
future research directions
