Abstract

The current transition state of the global society, both from economic and (mostly) technological perspective, goes – again – into overtime. Borrowed from fundamental domains and applied into science and research, the latest technological developments are built on graphene, silicene, phosphorene and stanene. The fourth industrial revolution changes perceptions and redefines the status of the individual, transforming him from con-sumer into pro-sumer of energy. Spintronics stimulates the production of accessories specific to the Internet of Things (IoT), like smart clothes connected to internet and implanted phones. Additionally, technology influences software development methodologies facing us with paradigms that transcend philosophies like green, grid, cloud computing and advance toward a superior manifestation of computer programming: Fog Computing (with the next level being presumably Rainbow Computing). Within this avalanche of transformations, technologies and paradigms, one aspect that has to evolve continuously is the quality assurance (QA). Hidden under various concept or methodology encapsulations, quality assurance in all fields and mostly in technological development and software paradigm play a key role. In an ecosystem defined by the context of Cloud IoT, quality assurance as service becomes a real challenge. In this paper we highlight the ways the ecosystem engages in its development not only things, beings, energies, sensors or objects but also technologies. One such popular technology is cloud computing which, in the context of IoT, sees a spectacular development of its own cluster of services, a potential such service being QAaaS.

Highlights

  • Computing, seeking to identify and present new dimensions of cloud that come to reconfigure the provided service cluster, aiming towards an instrument that provides quality assurance capabilities, presenting itself as QA-as-a-Service (QAaaS)

  • As we will see in this paper, the new services coming to complete the cloud cluster are embodied in dedicated instruments for our communication, storage, monitoring, outsourcing needs, quality assurance, crypto-economy etc

  • We present the novelties introduced by Internet of Things (IoT) in the cloud service cluster, highlighting defining features of these paradigms

Summary

Introduction

Computing, seeking to identify and present new dimensions of cloud that come to reconfigure the provided service cluster, aiming towards an instrument that provides quality assurance capabilities, presenting itself as QA-as-a-Service (QAaaS). In the context of IoT, the development of technology coupled with the rich “imagination” of individuals may at any moment give rise to new forms of Cloud implementation and just as many services: CoMaaS (CoMmunication), CoNaaS (CoNtainers), DaaS (Desktop), OaaS (Outsourcing), MoNaaS (Monitoring), MeTaaS (MeTal), XaaS (Anything or Everything as a Service). These growing developments rather take us to the idea of grid computing. IoT; it consists of CoNaaS and MeTaaS dimensions; the third level that may consist in a hybrid behaviour springing from the first two levels; from the angle of the new Cloud dimensions in the light of IoT, for the moment experts call this level XaaS (pointing to unpredictable developments in technology or methodology)
