IoT Specifications, Traceability Matrix and Test Cases based on GSM

The global system for mobile communications (GSM) supports mobile operators for cellular networks. Huge devices are connected to obtain services through the internet. To avoid failures when connecting IoT devices to mobile networks, GSM has provided two datasets: IoT device connection efficiency and Mobile IoT (MIoT) common test cases (TCs) and guidelines as per the IoT systems specifications. GSM produces TCs at least each year since 2015 till present. The main IoT device connection requirements were produced in 2014 (GSM 2014) and 2015 (GSM 2015) with 80 requirements and 100 TCs, whereas the MIoT dataset contains 51 requirements and 41 TCs, including the architecture for the configuration of the mobile network controls. The component diagram of this architecture shows the dependency between the components, which is used for integration testing. We have created a traceability matrix (TR) document for each dataset to present the related TCs of all requirements, and another document showing all TCs with their previous runs information, such as the description, Coverage Rate (CR), Fault Detection Rate (FDR) and Execution Time (ET) for prioritization, and other documents for TCs' attributes extracted successfully for both datasets using the IoT-CIRTF.
