Applying and Evaluating Automated Testing for Triple-Ended Systems

The increasing complexity of Internet of Things ecosystems, especially in triple-ended systems (systems involving a backend, frontend, and a third end such as Bluetooth), calls for efficient and scalable automated testing approaches. This thesis investigates the application of the Patrol testing framework for Flutter crossplatform mobile applications to automate functional and integration tests in such systems, with a focus on Bluetooth-driven Firmware Over-the-Air updates. The research evaluates Patrol’s effectiveness in automating regression tests, reducing manual effort, and enhancing test reliability across interconnected components. Key findings include the successful automation of 70% of Thule’s regression test suite, significant time savings, and improved validation consistency. The study also provides practical insights into applying test automation in real-world industrial environments and discusses limitations related to hardware interactions and external dependencies. The results contribute to more efficient testing practices for cross-platform and IoT applications, offering a foundation for further research in automated testing of interconnected systems

Gender differences in Body Mass Index and physical activity of students of the University of Tuzla

AbstractThis study was carried out among undergraduate students at the University of Tuzla (Bosna and Herzegovina) with the objective of examining gender differences in the body mass index (BMI) and the level of Physical Activity (PA) among respondents.This study was conducted to: determine the body mass index (BMI) and the average weekly number of hours of sport activity in the last six months (PA). A research sample was made of female students (n = 330) in the chronological age of 19.3+1.5 yrs, 60.7%, and of male students (n = 213) in the chronological age of 20.0+1.8 yrs, 39.2%.On average, the students (both female and male) spend 5.60 (5.03) hours on physical activity per week. Female students spend 4.05 (4.32) hours, while male students dedicate 8.11 (5.30) hours to physical activities. It can be concluded that in principle the students practice physical activities and recreation, but still 1/5 of all students are inactive. The obtained results for the BMI show that the majority of students are in the zone of normal values: female - 278 (84.2%); male - 157 (73.7%). Correlations between BMI and PA amount to (R = .214; p &lt; 0.01) and (R2 = .046; p &lt; 0.01). The results of the T-test show a more significant statistical variable of differences between female and male students at the level of p &lt; 0.05. In comparison to female students, male students have 2.35 kg/m2 higher BMI, and they are more active in physical activities for 4.06 hours in comparison to women.The focus should be directed to the education of young people, because they can easily adopt healthy habits that should be maintained for life. These results point out the necessity of an integrated approach to prevention and control of risk factors, particularly among youth.</jats:p
