Comparative analysis about the challenges and implications of IoT development methodologies

Abstract

The expanding nature of Internet of Things is expected to outbreak the future of internet. Devices connecting together to form an IoT ecosystem can bring revolutionary changes in human lives that can introduce numerous research opportunities. The diversified nature of an IoT application can be a challenging issue for the software development industry. Threats like security, interoperability etc. related to the IoT application can be more difficult to handle that can bring some implications in the software development methods. The increasing number of challenges and implications in IoT application can change the steps in software development process. Moreover, the existing best practices of software development methods are limited to their scope to handle the challenges and implications properly. Therefore, the motive of this research study is to find out the challenges and implications of IoT software development by conducting a systematic literature review. Also, analyzing the existing methods of IoT software development to sort out on what extent they are handling the identified challenges and implications.
