4. Open Source tools
We can expect more new alternatives and more
organisations moving towards providing open source
tech in 2017.
Open source framework for automation are likely to be
more successful
More and more businesses will accept these tools for
appropriate execution of Agile, DevOps, Test
Management, Defect Management and Test
Automation.
Few support groups of open source tools can become
more involved and active.

5. Speed and Quality
With the emergence of Agile and DevOps Continuous
Testing, Bug Fixing and Development Updates have
become the new trend. We cannot afford to have many
days of discussions, requirement understanding, writing
and executing test cases.
Usage of CI and CD tools with automation framework.
Using Crowdtesting solution to get your application
tested by actual users on actual devices in a short span
of time.
Testers who are just executing test cases, should be
aware and get yourself upskilled

7. Scriptless
Automation
Learning of scripting language would be mandatory
however organisations will go a step ahead and create
platforms where you can create UI level automation
without a single line of code.
There will be no downloads. All your services will be
hosted in the cloud including the infrastructure.

8. Reusability
Lot of effort has been put by testers and organisations in
creating test assets like test case, test script etc.
To handle speed and quality re-usability is a key factor.
We can expect the open source community &
organisations which are early adopters would start
creating assets which can be used across teams and
projects.

9. Crowdtesting
Organisations need to get their applications tested in
real world conditions and across various devices and
other conditions.
Crowdtesting solves this problem by exposing the
application to the right set of users/testers with the
required devices and gets the results very fast.

10. Virtualisation
It all started with servers being hosted in the cloud.
We now have actual mobile hosted in the cloud which
we can connect via web browser.
Desktop configurations can also be hosted in the cloud.
Users can make money even when they are sleeping by
connecting their mobile to the cloud and organisations
can use their devices for testing
