A study on OPNET state machine model based IoT network layer test

Abstract

Model based testing can enable automated test case generation for many kind of application. Even test code can be generated from the model by specialized tools. IoT protocols for network layer have many constraints for exhaustive or manual testing because of battery problem and large number of sensor nodes. To solve these testing constraints, this paper proposes an efficient State Machine based test case generation for IoT network layer by using OPNET simulation model and test case generation tool. The size of test suite is compared according to the size of State Machine model from OPNET.
