BugRaptor’s always remains up to date with latest technologies and ongoing trends in Software testing. Nowadays, software testing and methods has been going through various phases of growth, innovation, and disruption due to advancements in technologies. To consolidate all the innovations and remains up to date, BugRaptor’s showcase some software testing trends in the PPT.
2. Introduction
In the past few years, an enormous change has been noticed in the
Software Testing domain. Let it be a self-driven car, a social
networking website, or a medical equipment, the software
functioning and quality have to be made sure before making the
products live.
With the fastest evolving areas like test automation, performance
and security, the demand for more advanced and upgraded
software testers are arising. To consolidate the emerging trends,
here we will showcase some top software testing news towards
which we will have to shift our focus to remain up to date:
3. Some of the Software Testing Trends
1. The impact of Agile and DevOps
2. Script-less Automation is the best option
3. The evergrowing open source tools
4. Security testing is now becoming a necessity
5. Growing need of Automation testing of mobile apps
6. Internet of Things (IoT) testing in demand
7. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) will spread
8. Enormous requirement of Big Data Testing
4. 1. The impact of Agile and DevOps : To maintain an on time
and quality delivery, Agile and DevOps have amazingly
helped the organizations to achieve their goals, along with
Client satisfaction. With Continuous Development,
Testing, Integration, and Deployment, DevOps has been
the first choice for a lot of organizations over the last few
years. Whereas with Agile, an iterative approach for
delivering the product in parts, have impressed the Clients
to satisfy their goal. Further, the demand of execution of
test cases at every stage has involved the Automation
Testing technique, to maintain the speed and quality.
2. Script-less Automation is the best option : It has been
around 20 years since Automation testing is used. It is
implemented using languages like Java, Python, C#, etc,
and a framework to execute the test cases. However, if an
organization wants its Business Analysts to get involved in
Automation, it will be a difficult and expensive task to gain
the code knowledge, and then perform automation.
5. So, the alternative to this is Script-Less Automation, for which the
organization just need to train the desired employees for this tool,
and this knowledge can be used to automate the products, without
knowing about the code/scripts. Some tools available for this
purpose are like Ranorex, TOSCA, etc.
6. 3. The evergrowing open source tools : As there are abundant
tools available online, most of the organizations are switching
to the usage of Open Source Tools like Selenium WebDriver for
Automation of Tests, Apache JMeter for checking the
performance. This availability of tools and their features have
attracted the organizations and made it a huge success.
4. Security testing is now becoming a necessity : With more and
more users shifting to online resources, to save data, pay bills,
do shopping, or communicating on applications, Security
testing is now becoming a major necessity. This feature is now
a part of the checklist that proves Quality of the product.
7. 5. Growing need of Automation testing of mobile apps : With
most of the applications shifting from Website to Mobile
platform, more demand is arising for automated testing of the
mobile applications. Let these applications be related to e-
commerce, or banking, any upgrade in these applications
requires a complete and fast testing cycle. Using open source
tools like Appium, Robotium, and Protractor, it makes it easy
to achieve the goals on time.
6. Internet of Things (IoT) testing in demand : As the demand
for IoT is emerging day by day, the need for testing is
increasing due to the increasing database and upgrade. Since
all the data is collected over the internet, its vulnerability
becomes questionable. So the testing of these things before
delivering the product becomes very important.
8. 7. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) will spread : In order to
perform a huge variety of time-consuming tasks, RPA is used
to improve the output and efficiency. With newer
technologies like the Internet of Things, Machine Learning,
and Artificial Intelligence, the demand for Robotic Process
Automation is ever-growing. As it saves both time and cost, it
will become a requirement for a business to succeed.
8. Enormous requirement of Big Data Testing : In order to
handle a database of big companies, Big Data testing is
becoming more and more popular. With all this data going
digital, Big data testing will be a necessity in future.
