Internet of Things, Big Data, Machine Learning, …

• Testing IoT? • Simple devices, complex combinations

• Using data analytics & machine learning for test analysis?• IoT, distributed systems, etc. produce ”big data”. How do we evaluateit?

• Using test generation to generate data for analysis?• Getting the required data to develop algorithms, tools, features can bea challenge


Basic sensor profiling




Long term(big) data

e.g., few weeks = some millions of samples



Long term(big) data


Statistical profiles per time intervals,Traffic patterns,Measurement patterns,…

Similarly, e.g., network data profiles (packet sizes, frequencies, …)

More Complex Sensor Networks

• For example, indoor location via beacons• Several beacons evaluated at any time• Location = value function of sensors

• Need to consider sensor relations• Signal strength vs others• Environmental factors

• Or relation to sensor itself• Smoothing curve vs hop• Moving: allowed, expected, service functions, …• …


Analysing the Data (Test Oracle?)

• With thousands of parameters and up to millions orbillions of data values from the tests…

• What happened?

• What matters?


Problem area identification

• Automated analysis of large test data sets• E.g.,

• performance spikes, drops, • Important data elements,• causes..





• A simple case: statistical profiling and automated outlier detection

… … …


• Labeled datasets• IoT = L1• Video = L2• Idle = L3

• What are the impacts?• Inputs to learning algorithms, • To find labeled targets (categories)

Example: Visualizations with PCA, TSNE, …


Finding the relevant features


Just a small subset ->Manually exploring all the data is hard

Finding important features: Automation


e.g., Recursive feature elimination(RFE) algorithm

What for?

• Test devices, networks, services against new types of input profiles

• Provide new inputs and datasets for development• Analyze and evaluate results, identify interestingproperties and characteristics• Profiles for users, devices, sensors, environmental factors, …• Performance statistics


Conclusions

• IoT properties & challenges• Simple sensors form complex combinations• Combining with big data, data analytics & machine learning

• Testing here• Exploring the impact of parameters, profiles, configurations, performance results, functionality

• Providing inputs to features, algorithms, optimizations, …
