Emerging Trends That Will Define the Next 10 Years of Software Testing [Part-1]
Emerging Trends That Will Define the Next 10 Years of Software Testing [Part-1] The volatility of the current business scenario is highly unpredictable. With software industry impregnating every industry out there, with technology becoming the primary way of performing activities, any change in the IT sector directly affects every other sector as well. The past two decades were all about digital transformation, DevOps and Agile methodologies, and organizations trying to align with these disruptive trends. Some succeeded, many failed. To completely transform digitally has become a failed dream for several businesses, while others are struggling to find the right way of entering this difficult yet astoundingly beneficial journey. On the other hand, decision makers are engaging in a futile Agile vs DevOps battle, while not wanting to leave their comfort zones of Waterfall. The last ten years were about getting over what was and getting hang of what should be. On that note, the next ten years shall see higher enthusiasm and openness to adopt the emerging trends. The next decade shall be a host of events that will derive responsive actions from participants, rather than wasting time on convincing them why their participation is required. As we approach the end of one decade and the beginning of the next, it is safe to say that the last ten years were all about setting the stage while the next ten years will witness how the show finally turns out.
Emerging Trends That Will Define the Next 10 Years of Software Testing [Part-1] Software testing transcends ‘industry walls’ along with digital transformation Today, there is no industry that remains untouched from technology. From healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and insurance to BFSI, travel, and hospitality, technology has become an integral part to each sector. Industry incumbents as well as newbies are taking the digital approach for their endeavors. They are consciously making efforts to utilize the latest technology for delivering value services to their potential as well as existing customers.Those lacking in adopting the latest tech to deliver heightened user experience are digging their own grave in the backyard of a tech-driven landscape. There will be a rapidly rising inclination and hustle for achieving digital transformation successfully in the coming decade. There has really been a lot of attempts at this, but the lack of knowledge and availability of right set of skills became a hindrance. With organizations now having more clarity about how, with more acceptance about why of digital transformation, and with better understanding about the critical role of software testing in the digital journey, we can expect a greater number of success stories than failure ones in the next decade. 2. ‘Agile and DevOps’ over ‘Agile or DevOps’ As put aptly by Diego Lo Giudice, VP and Principal Analyst at Forrester, “it is simply unacceptable for any IT organization to focus on an Agile-only or DevOps-only journey. They are two sides of the same coin, and one completes the other.” It is time that we end our obsession with always choosing sides. Sometimes, a collaborative approach is required to complete a complex puzzle. A recent Forrester survey results showed a clear agreement with this collaborative instead of independent approach. The survey showed that large majorities of those doing Agile+DevOps joint program enjoy more benefits than
Emerging Trends That Will Define the Next 10 Years of Software Testing [Part-1] those who adopt them separately, such as, advantages of faster solution delivery (84%), more frequent releases (88%), and faster business value (88%). While the past decade was all about shifting from waterfall to Agile or DevOps methodologies, the next ten years will be about taking the ‘Agile + DevOps’ approach along with continuous testing for building superior quality into the delivered products and services.
