Master Thesis - Measuring Product Quality in IoT Systems
Organization: Robert Bosch AB | Region: Sweden | Location: Lund | Functional Area: Engineering, Software Development
Do you want beneficial technologies being shaped by your ideas? Whether in the areas of mobility solutions, consumer goods, industrial
technology or energy and building technology – with us, you will have the chance to improve quality of life all across the globe. Welcome to
Bosch. The Bosch Connected Devices and Solutions GmbH is a 100% subsidiary of Bosch. On the basis of the Bosch Group’s competencies in electronics, sensors and software, we develop, manufacture and market innovative interconnected devices as well as customized solutions for the Internet
of Things. Our main businesses are in the areas of Smart Home & Building, Connected Mobility and Industry 4.0! We improve everyday life,
increase comfort, security and productivity.
Your contribution to something big
As the number of deployed IoT devices increase, so does the need to
answer the question “what is our product quality”. Overall product
quality begins with the design of the device and continues into the
measurement of the yield at the factory producing our devices. In this
master’s thesis you will examine the next step of product quality, that of
an installed base of IoT nodes. Why do we want to measure “product
quality” for our deployed IoT systems and how do we define it? Our first
reason is that poor product quality will hurt the user experience, the
second being that this will hurt our business case. Incidentally, we may
have poor product quality but still a great user experience. A software
bug causing a device restart may not be visible to the end user, thus
saving the user experience. This leads us into defining product quality.
One such measurement is “how many system restarts have we
suffered within a population of nodes running one particular version of
our firmware”. Another definition can be “the number of replaced nodes
within the same population”. As our product evolves, we will have
multiple hardware revisions and multiple firmware versions released to
our customers and at this point it gets interesting to compare different
combinations of hardware/software, enabling us to answer the question “did our last effort really increase the product quality”.
In this Master Thesis, you will
Look at the kind of measurements needed.
Make changes to an existing firmware for a provided IoT system to
report these measurements.
 Make changes to the server infrastructure for receiving and storing
the data.
 Design and implement a system for querying and displaying the
measured data.

The Master‘s Thesis will be conducted at the Bosch Lund site and is suitable for two persons.
