A Methodology for Monitoring IOV Interoperability Testing

Internet-connected smart objects in the context of vehicles management are referred to as the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). Testing IoV systems remains a challenge, due to the dynamic nature of IoV, vulnerability to IoV failures, heterogeneity, and large data streams associated with remotely distributed IoV system components. These characteristics can affect device availability, communication reliability, quality of service, and security. Hence, a testing framework is needed to ensure conformance, interoperability, security and semantic validation of IoV systems. Moreover, monitoring of these tests becomes a necessity, so as to detect and identify IoV system failures. The focus of this paper is solely on the interoperability test as one of four main types of tests conducted as part of our architecture: interoperability tests, conformance tests, security tests, and semantic tests. Furthermore, all of these tests will be monitored in order to evaluate the impact of the ongoing testing procedures.
