Why Should I Get the Testing for IoT and Mobile Certification?

The challenges of testing IoT, mobile and connected device are significant and growing:

• Frequency of the release cycles: Because the IoT, mobile and connected device market is so competitive, organizations race to be first-to-market with new features and capabilities. Testing has to adapt to the demands of time-to-market while also meeting the expectations of the users regarding functionality, usability and performance.
• Interoperability: Although invisible to most users, there is an expectation that applications will work across devices and that devices will work together. There is an expectation to be able to easily and automatically transfer data between devices, and to use the same applications from any device.
