Software Engineering and the Adoption of Internet of Things: A Systematic Literature Review

Recent interest in integrating Internet of Things (IoT) technology with software engineering has grown owing to its potential to transform several fields. The purpose of this research is to review the literature that are related to the integration of IoT with software engineering and explores the opportunities, challenges, and future directions. To fulfil this objective, a total of 22 articles related to the issues were reviewed using PRISMA. The findings showed that new software developments due to cloud computing and IoT need IoT-compatible architectures. Data security, authentication, access control, and trust management take precedence. The study also reveals managerial, architectural, security, interoperability, scalability, and professional training challenges in software engineering using IoT technologies. Despite these challenges, IoT is changing healthcare, smart cities, and industrial automation. The findings highlight the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and particular solutions to solve IoT-software engineering integration issues.
