MAJOR SOFTWARE TESTING TRENDS TO FOLLOW IN 2020

Do you feel that your current software testing services are slowing you down?

With the best software testing trends, change the way you include testing services in your design and development process-

This blog will take you through the Top 7 software testing trends in 2020.

Big Data Testing

QAOps Development

Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning in Testing

IoT Testing

Test Automation

Performance Testing to Shift Towards Performance engineering

Demand For Cyber Security Testing on the Rise

Big Data Testing:

Big data plays a vital role in many business sectors including healthcare, telecom, retail, banking, technology, media and so on. Enterprises across all the industries regularly deal with diverse data types and huge data volumes. It helps in enhancing market strategizing and makes better decisions with precise data validations.

Know why Big Data Testing is widely adopted by organizations?

QAOps Development:

You are familiar with the term “DevOps” which is a set of software development practices that associates development and information technology operations. The main aim of DevOps is to compress the systems development life cycle so that the teams can focus on fixing bugs, building features and frequent updates that are aligned with business objectives.

As DevOps collaborates developers and business operationalists, with the same spirit, QAOps increases the direct the flow of communication between testing engineers and developers by merging software quality assurance testing into the CI/CD pipeline, rather than having the QA testing services team to operate in isolation.

High-level testing practices like Automated Testing, Parallel Testing, Scalability Testing are followed to put QAOps into action. Read More about them.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning in Testing:

As per a leading research analyst, Artificial intelligence is present everywhere and in all spheres of technological innovations. It will be the top priority for investment in 2020. In North America alone, the market for AI is expected to be around $6–7 billion. We can expect the applications of AI in more testing areas like log analytics, test suite optimization, ensure test requirements coverage, predictive analytics, and defect analytics.

Another pillar is Machine Learning which is expected to grow on another level in 2020. The outlook of technology has been changed with machine learning due to the prediction of various tasks based on complex neural networks and algorithms, these applications also need continuous testing and validations.

IoT Testing:

By IoT Testing we mean testing the IoT devices for security assurance, trustworthiness, compatibility of the device protocols and versions, ease of use, monitoring the delay in connection, evaluation of data integrity, device authenticity, the versatility of programming items, so on and so forth. The QA teams should expand their knowledge and enhance their skill for performing IoT testing as the IoT testing engineers face an extensive amount of work in this area especially with operating systems and monitoring communication protocols.

To enable efficient and well-connected smart devices, enterprises have already started identifying the need for an effective IoT testing strategy. Testing the IoT devices was already prominent in 2019 and it is expected that the number of IoT devices all around the world will reach 20.6 billion by 2020 compared to 6.4 billion in 2016.

Test Automation

In Quality Assurance, test automation is no longer a foreign thing, 44% of IT organizations automated 50% of all their testing in 2019 and more adoption of automated testing will continue to be on the rise in 2020. Test automation services have become a crucial component, as more and more businesses are adopting the latest agile and DevOps processes to fulfill the demand for quality at speed.

Organizations that adopt automated testing in their QA process save a significant amount of time, cost and human resources. The top 5 test automation trends that shape the future of the software testing industry. Test automation services trends help the teams in performing repetitive tasks, detecting the bugs precisely and faster, ensuring coverage of the test and providing continuous feedback loops.

Performance Testing to Shift Towards Performance Engineering:

The process of performance engineering involves the collaboration of software, hardware, performance, configuration, security, usability, business value and it delivers the highest value which exceeds the expectations of the user. There was a time when the product performance was the major segment of continuous testing but now it is shifting towards performance engineering which is not an easy process. The assessment of the quality of the application testing can be more accurate if it is possible to divide the test into several parts which can be done by parallel development.

Demand For Cyber Security Testing on the Rise:

There has been an emergence of various security threats with the digital revolution. The security testing of applications, network, and systems not only ensure secure transactions but also complete protection of end-users critical data and the CIOs of the enterprises are realizing its importance now. Thus, we can say that security testing has gained a lot of importance and is on the rise for 2020 as it prevents economic losses and safeguards brand loyalty.

CONCLUSION

Quality Assurance Testing, like any other development element, is rising to a new level and experiencing a lot of changes. The traction is towards the new trends stated above and no matter how the digital transformation will turn in 2020, it is certain that the testing engineers will have to witness adjustments and changes. A huge amount of attention will be paid to artificial intelligence and manual testing will be gradually replaced by test automation services. The enterprises need to stay updated with the latest QA testing services trends in order to ensure quality products.
