Top 10 latest trends: Disrupting your Software Testing Mindset in 2018 Many times I wonder, how the testing industry grows so strong. To be honest, no developer wants to have a bug in his/her code. But, then there is a famous saying “To err is human". We all have a conception that testing is all about identifying bugs in the product, but moreover, testing is to make sure that developed product is in accordance with the predefined standards. So, over the years the definition of testing has evolved from a process of finding bugs to a quality assurance parameter. Software testing has developed itself as an independent industry rather than considered as a part of software development process. Industry prediction says software testing will do $30 billion USD business by 2018. When it comes to software testing, the test engineers should keep up with the latest technologies as well as upcoming trends. Let's have a close look at the top 10 software testing trends which are going to change the testing landscape in coming years. Open Source Tools If you are closely following the software industry in the last couple of years, you can see a lot of companies are investing in open source platforms. Apple initiated this with "Swift" programming language and immediately followed by Microsoft with .Net platform. Open source allows companies to optimize their revenue without paying for the license using tools like "Selenium", "SoapUI" etc. Open source tools are the future & with this testing associated with that will be the next trend in the industry. Test Automation Manual testing has not lost its importance. But it is expected that most of the major testing process will involve at least some form of automation in coming years. Currently, almost 72% of test engineers use at least one automation tool for testing. Automation will guarantee higher performance, more security and quality enhancement of the product. Speed will be at the top of the list As the software development process is moving towards agile development, it is important to consider high speed & responsiveness in software testing. Test engineers need to acknowledge with faster testing processes so that the business and QA professionals can work in a chain. Python & Ruby Python & Ruby are those technologies, who are having a lot of potential in future. Their architecture is massively suited for embedded systems. So, in current ecosystem, Python & Ruby are two major pillars in testing. In the coming year, these languages will be very effective in performing any type of automation including embedded projects. Agile & Integration As the software development cycle is getting shorter with time, test engineers must integrate Agile and Integration to manage the day to day development. In order to meet the deadlines, testing tools
are becoming developer friendly. To achieve this, testing tools need to increase their focus on integration with IDEs (Integrated Development Environment). Mobile & Cloud Application Testing As the application approval process is becoming simple and quick, businesses are focusing more on developing hybrid cloud based mobile apps. The growth in mobile app testing is witnessing phenomenal results. A beta version first released for testing and after considering feedbacks & identifying bugs, product enhancement is being done. With the recent launch of Amazon Web Service and Google Cloud Test Lab, mobile app developers are under constant pressure to provide world class applications with minimum infrastructure. Big Data Testing Big Data doesn't require any introduction in today's business world. Businesses are sitting on the top of a huge amount of data today and they need to have a robust strategy around Big Data Testing. High analytical tools, technology, methodology, and frameworks are required to optimize testing datasets. Growth in IoT Testing As we have already in the era of connected devices, IoT is growing exponentially. More and more businesses, as well as individuals, are using IoT devices. If the products are not tested properly, questions can rise on their functionality, security, and effectiveness. As in past, many IoT devices were reported unsafe because of security issues, IoT testing will go mainstream. Performance Engineering The best way to acquire and retain customers is to provide best user experience. User experience is very crucial for the product success. Product performance consistency across platforms, operating system, devices will decide how much market share you can capture. We can expect many new applications or products will go under uncompromising acceptance testing to ensure best quality, consistency and user experience. More Investment All these above trends big data, IoT, Mobility, and Cloud will rule the technological world for the next few years. The focus will be on developing high-quality products and testing will play a major role in this. This will allow the enterprises to invest more in testing and QA.
