The Internet of Things (IoT) is a paradigm characterized by a variety of objects that interact with each other using the internet to achieve common goals. IoT applications are more and more present in our lives, either in our homes, or on the streets, or in our work environments. These applications bring new Non-Functional Requirements highly related to the user interaction quality, such as context-awareness, synchronicity, and calmness. The evaluation of these NFRs can be challenging, because we may have to take into account qualitative and quantitative aspects. In this way, the evaluators can be confused about the steps they need to follow and the best order to perform the NFRs evaluation. After conducting a systematic mapping study about the NFR evaluation in IoT applications, we could not find a process that systematizes these activities stepby-step. Therefore, this paper proposes a process for evaluating non-functional requirements in IoT applications. This process divides the quality evaluation into two aspects, qualitative and quantitative, to capture quality measurements and subjective aspects of the IoT applications. To verify whether the established process meets the evaluators' needs, we applied 2 questionnaires with the experts and, based on the obtained results, we made some adjustments and came up with a preliminary version of the process that is presented in this paper.

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.

“…Variety of the methods is used here, for instance, conformance testing [32], randomness testing [33], statistical verification [34], or formal verification [35]. Previous work related to IoT usability testing can be also identified, for instance, an IoT-specific usability testing framework [36]. Several studies can be found discussing the IoT performance [37].…”

Contemporary development of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology brings a number of challenges in the Quality Assurance area. Current issues related to security, user's privacy, the reliability of the service, interoperability, and integration are discussed. All these create a demand for specific Quality Assurance methodology for the IoT solutions. In the paper, we present the state of the art of this domain and we discuss particular areas of system testing discipline, which is not covered by related work sufficiently so far. This analysis is supported by results of a recent survey we performed among ten IoT solutions providers, covering various areas of IoT applications.
