With a drastic change in climate continuously it is very harmful to the people who are living in the disaster-prone areas. In some areas the people are not warned for the consequences of coming specifically in their areas, they are told about the average temperature and humidity of the city while the humidity and temperature vary at different altitude and changes at short distances. The system is a very cost-effective and efficient method for controlling and monitoring the weather, and it sends the data to the cloud so that it can be visible anywhere through internet. The temperature, humidity, and pressure play a significant role in different fields like agricultural, industrial and Logistical Field. Weather forecast is necessary for the growth and development of these industries. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the technology used in developing the proposed system, which is an efficient and advanced method for connecting the sensors to the cloud which can store real-time sensor data and connect the entire world of things in a network. Here things might be anything like electronic gadgets, sensors, and automotive electronic equipment. The system deals with controlling and monitoring the environmental conditions like Temperature, Pressure, Smoke, Relative humidity level and various other gases with sensors and sends the information to the cloud and then plot the sensor data in graphical form. An Intelligent prediction is to be done using machine learning. Machine learning is a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) which is a compelling method of Analyzing and predicting the given data-set. The data collected will be analyzed continuously. The real-time data which has to be sent through the sensor can be accessible throughout the world using the internet

An Intelligent Weather Monitoring System using Internet of Things

Background: Health is the major concern of each and every individual. Being fit both physically and mentally is not an easy task. Yoga and meditation is considered as an optimal solution for the same. In Yoga, Yogi (person who does yoga) performs various asanas (body postures) which energize and refresh their body cells and keep them fit. The real purpose of yoga asanas and breathing techniques is to achieve optimal health possibly the best physical condition based on their life style, environment, age and genetics. Various clinical studies claim that yoga can provide improved mental and physical fitness rather than other physical training or stress management techniques. Objective: Our aim is to increase the performance of the postures of the Yogis, through yoga assistant kit with prediction intelligence which will assist the person to perform suitable yoga postures. This will help the Yogis to achieve more positive results in the practice of Yoga, with highest quality of meditation. The developed IoT kit consists of a hardware module (embedded in wrist band) and a mobile application. The yogi should wear the wrist band while practising yoga. The wrist band consists of various sensors like temperature sensor, pressure sensor, humidity sensor etc. which sense body parameters and store it in a central database. Using neural networks and embedded intelligence our system aims to predict the number of sun salutations a person (yogi) should perform based on the parameters collected from the kit. The results showed that our system works as a virtual trainer which suggests the yogi with the appropriate asanas to be performed based on present body conditions. Methods: It is safe to wear this light weight wrist band as it is made up of a cotton band. The components are embedded inside the band and is safe to use though it uses button cells as a power source. The system is charged by button cells. It is both economical and safe to use it as the kit is designed in such a manner that it doesn’t cause any sort of skin allergies or side effects.&nbsp;Discussion: There is no standard yoga assistant kit available in the market as of now. So our proposed kit can assist the yoga performers to perform yoga in an efficient manner. The intention of our kit is not to improve the health of a yoga person instead it focuses on assisting the yoga person with a set of asanas to be performed at a particular body condition. The smart phone version provides live assistance for the yoga performer with relevant videos. The kit doesn’t consist of any expensive components and hence we can market this product in a nominal price. We performed a clinical study in Amrutha Yoga centre and the results showed that it is non allergic and safe to use for both kids and elder persons. Conclusion: Thus our proposed yoga kit will be an intelligent assistant for every yoga performer to practice yoga efficiently and effectively.

Software Testing is the pre-eminent part of the software development life cycle process. It is the process of evaluating system or its components with the specified requirements or not. It is important process by means of accessing the quality of software, reusability and traceability of the requirements specified. There are many number of testing techniques and tools available for this task. Software testing is an essential part of research and lot of development has been made in this field. In this chapter, testing techniques and tools including test design tools, load and performance testing tools, test management tools, test implementation tools, test evaluation tools, static analysis tools, Basic path testing, Loop testing, Control structure testing, code based techniques, Path testing, data flow testing, syntax testing has been described. Some distinctive latest research and development in testing strategy have been summarized.

Software development life cycle (SDLC) contains different phases. Software testing life cycle (STLC) has to be spent more time and cost during the development of embedded system software. Test cases are paly the major role in the embedded system software testing. Design specifications based automated test case has the added benefit of permitting test cases to be accessible timely in the software development life cycle. The validation process has reduced the effort in SDLC. Specification designs of the embedded system offer effective evidence during the software development process. Specification path based validation of automated test cases is improving the productivity of embedded system software. This paper presents a method for validation of automated test cases using specification path of embedded system. It makes three major processes. First, specification diagrams are converted to event flow graph and then nodes and edges are minimized using timed event flow path, finally the automated test cases are validated with the flow path of the EFG. This paper has accessible our proposed method with examples of real-time embedded system software.
