Abstract

The current development of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology poses\nsignificant challenges to researchers and industry practitioners. Among these\nchallenges, security and reliability particularly deserve attention. In this\npaper, we provide a consolidated analysis of the root causes of these\nchallenges, their relations, and their possible impacts on IoT systems' general\nquality characteristics. Further understanding of these challenges is useful\nfor IoT quality engineers when defining testing strategies for their systems\nand researchers to consider when discussing possible research directions. In\nthis study, twenty specific features of current IoT systems are discussed,\ndivided into five main categories: (1) Economic, managerial and organisational\naspects, (2) Infrastructural challenges, (3) Security and privacy challenges,\n(4) Complexity challenges and (5) Interoperability problems.\n
