The Scope of Software Testing in Future

 

Sun Technologies' Software Testing Services

Due to the recent Covid-19 outbreak, we have seen a great revolution in software testing with the emerging technologies in the market. We have also experienced the shift from manual software testing to complete automation. With today's available methods and tools, a software tester can run multiple test cases and generate a detailed report of the full test cycle with a single click.

We have also experienced the automation capability, which has covered many gaps in software testing. In the current state, automation testing has gone to the level of providing image-based test validation integrated with high-end machine learning algorithms, which can even identify and detect a minor UI issue that a human can miss.

But the future of software testing is a lot broader by integrating AI/ML based tools that can be trained to automatically collect enough data like screenshots, HTML links, and performance parameters and validate the sensoria in visual form. So there is also a huge scope for expanding the software testing process in the different fields within Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

In regards to that, below are a few scopes of software testing where the information technology industry will have a high impact in the near future.

 

Rapid Innovation with No-Code/ Scriptless Tools

In software testing, every organization's goal is to get high-quality products or services in a shorter time. Software testing is carried out parallel to the development of software. So, testing is used to speed up the development process and resolve problems at an earlier stage. At the time, this repeated process became challenging for the organization's testing resources and may miss out few common core elements.

Growing adoption of no-code/ scriptless test automation tools can leverage an organization's QA resources to create test cases and execute and generate the reports with zero coding knowledge with no human errors and increased productivity. These tools are built on next-gen artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms which will enable the QA team to accelerate the test automation process with better reusability, test effectiveness, auto-documentation, and faster test release cycles.

Evolution of Hyperautomation with RPA, AI & ML

We have seen the business process management reinvention with the cutting-edge RPA technology. The increase in demand for the RPA tools became the mainstream that covers a wide factor in the field of software tests.

Organizations are now using a combination of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning concepts with the RPA process to reduce the time required for testing the system and minimizing the funds. This combination of multiple smart concepts is called Hyperautomation, which will be in demand soon in the field of software testing. This is considered to be a tool with AI & ML combined with RPA that will drastically reduce human intervention in digital tasks.

Increased Tech Ecosystem based on Edge Computing with Internet of Things (IoT)

Many organizations are investing a lot of time and money in developing a robust ecosystem to enhance the continuity of business operations. The recent pandemic has forced the organization to shift into digital from legacy to keep their business running with one of the enforced trends Edge Computing.

This form of computing is a combination with IoT, which allows organizations to transmit and receive data directly to the cloud server for detailed examination and insights extraction. Soon, this IoT will also accept the 5G standard, which will bring an increase in new gadgets, devices, and protocols to form an extended ecosystem. In the coming years, software testing will raise demand for performance, security, compatibility, usability, and data integrity for testing the ecosystem built on edge computing.

 

Accelerating Digital Transformation with Agile, QAOps, and DevOps

Methodologies like Agile, QAOps, and DevOps are slowly becoming the key accelerators for the digital transformation journey. This also speeds up the delivery of the business, which in return increases the need for collaborative testing of the new build agile systems between organization development and operations teams. Hence this will bring the need for software testing in a collaborative model to deliver high-quality and value-optimized products and services.

 

Conclusion

Organizations take much care to deliver high-quality products and services to their customers. But it is challenging to switch with changing trends and technologies, which will also end up put in grapping from funds by the organization to deliver their products and services.
