Security is continuing to skyrocket in importance as we tie more and more aspects of our personal life to the phones we carry. And with the Internet of Things burrowing deeper and deeper into our daily lives, we need to understand who has access to our info and how we can best protect ourselves.

Connected devices Building for the Internet of Things Is Great—Just Keep Security in MindThe Internet of Things gives us opportunities to transform everyday life into frictionless interactions between humans and machines. However, that also means the technological attack surface is everything. Makers learning how to build IoT devices must also learn how to build safe, secure, and compliant devices.
Integration testing Why Integration Testing Is Crucial for Mobile AppsWhen customers use a mobile app you built, they expect seamless integration. Performing integration testing is essential due to the need to sync these apps with all the other devices and interfaces. With so many products in the mobile and IoT ecosystems, it is important for testers to think like their users.
Connected devices in the Internet of Things DevOps Helps Enterprises Deliver Better, Faster Software for the IoTAs the world becomes more connected, it’s changing the way we do things, especially in relation to software delivery. For starters, software development for IoT applications presents obstacles concerning security, privacy, and unified standards. But we need look no further than DevOps to find the answers.
Mobile and IoT platforms Mobile and IoT Challenges: What Testers Need to Know to Improve Their CareersMany of the skills and knowledge areas that testers have in the IT, web, PC, and even mobile world will have application in the IoT. However, there are some knowledge domains that may be new or have some twists, and if testers understand them, they will be able to separate themselves from other job seekers.
pacemaker Understanding the Risks of IoT and Embedded Devices

We’ve become so advanced in our technology—especially when it comes to IoT and embedded devices—that we can benefit some people’s quality of life, but one of the big concerns (especially when it comes to a heart) is security and preventing people from misusing access to pacemakers.

How to Adapt to IoT Devices and AI as a Software Professional

When something about your job changes, it’s easy to panic. However, you shouldn’t discount all your current skills or fear you’ll have to be retrained just to continue testing and developing software. The best part about IoT and AI is that what you’re doing now will transfer over.

What the Internet of Things Desperately Needs Is Standards

IoT is the latest trend that’s producing new connected devices that change how we interact with our environment. We’ve barely scratched the surface of what IoT can achieve, but before we can really hit our stride in this industry, all the different players needs to agree on a standard.
