随着物联网（IoT）在各个垂直领域（如智能城市和智能行业）的快速发展，物联网应用的数量呈指数级增长。标准化的一致性测试机制广泛用于测试软件应用程序，包括物联网应用程序。然而，当前的一致性测试机制需要持续的人工干预和要嵌入到被测试的目标设备中的附加软件，这是耗时的、昂贵的，并且需要目标设备上的附加存储器。因此，非常需要增强和优化现有的一致性测试，以便能够自动测试高度分布式约束的物联网应用程序。在本文中，我们提出了一种新的机制，自动化和可扩展的一致性测试的物联网应用程序通过引入一个测试触发机制的基础上，标准化的测试接口。这种触发机制基于测试环境中的几个新逻辑组件，这些组件在测试系统和目标物联网设备之间交换消息。这种自动一致性测试技术可以减少成本和人为干预，以减少失误的数量，并通过认证物联网应用程序来加速物联网市场。
As the Internet of Things (IoT) is evolving rapidly in various verticals, such as smart cities and smart industries, the number of IoT applications is growing exponentially. Standardized conformance testing mechanisms are widely used to test software applications, including IoT applications. However, current conformance testing mechanisms require continuous human intervention and additional software to be embedded into a target device being tested, which is time consuming, costly, and requires additional memory on the target device. Therefore, there is a considerable need to enhance and optimize existing conformance testing so that it is adequate for automatically testing highly distributed constraint IoT applications. In this paper, we propose a novel mechanism for automated and scalable conformance testing for IoT applications by introducing a test triggering mechanism based on a standardized test interface. This triggering mechanism is based on several new logical components in a testing environment that exchange messages between a testing system and a target IoT device. This technique of automatic conformance testing can lessen the cost and human intercession to decrease the number of missteps and accelerate the IoT market by certifying IoT applications.
