Testing is an integral part of the software development lifecycle and changes in tandem and as radically as software development. In a hyper-competitive world, even seconds of application or website downtime come at a high cost. Software testing silently saves the day with its preemptive methods of assessing risk and forecasting failures.
Here are the testing trends that companies must watch out for in 2021.
1. The Rise of QA Test Automation
Today, agile and DevOps have created the demand for quality at speed. No wonder various sources slate the global automation testing market to reach $70 bn by 2025, according to the globalnewswire.
The numbers hint at a megatrend, 44% of IT organizations automated 50% of their testing in 2019–2020. Automated testing helps teams execute recurring tasks, identify bugs more precisely and quickly, provide continuous feedback, and execute test coverage. Consequently, organizations that adopt automated testing in their QA processes save a significant amount of time, money, and human resources. Here is the list of few top automation testing trends that will shape the future of the software testing industry:
* Codeless Test Automation: We have discussed this in detail below. Codeless is a powerful tool in test automation. Codeless automation of testing scenarios via AI and visual modeling is highly effective.
* Robotic Process Automation Testing: When it comes to complex data sets, RPA helps testes reduce time and manual effort needed by a large margin by avoiding regression and load testing.
* Blend of agile and DevOps: Provides highest test coverage allowing faster deployments and cost management.
2. Codeless Automated Testing
Codeless is already making ripples. Codeless automated testing helps QA engineers create test case scenarios with minimal coding knowledge and minimize time spent on recurring test cases.
3. Rising Demand for Testing in the IoT Ecosystem
IoT device ecosystems are an integration of giant networks of devices, people, processes, and technologies collecting and sharing data over the internet.
