2015 witnessed tremendous increase in adoption of digital transformation, and digital assurance will now play a key role in 2016.
Pradeep Govindasamy, CTO & President – Americas atCigniti Technologies, predicts the following key software testing trends for this year:
1. Digital Assurance: It ensures successful digital transformation by executing comprehensive testing across the digital value chain from content creation to content distribution covering the entire digital ecosystem – Social Media, Mobility, Big Data & Analytics, and Cloud.
2. Security Testing: Enormous data is accessed and shared via web-based, mobile and cloud-based applications. Security testing will become a strategic business priority for many organizations to curb data breach.
3. Test Data Management (TDM): To create, manage and maintain complex data sets is achallenge especially while testing in Agile and DevOps environments. This ensures a growing need for TDM services.
4. Client Centric TCoEs: Organizations today seek to set up AgileTCoEs to be more flexible and collaborative with SDLC. Setting up customized, client-centric TCoEs is one of the key trends to watch out for this year.
5. Test Automation: It will grow enormously with robust automated testing tools delivering bug-free, high-quality software. Test automation will drive the future of software testing and help avoid routine testing, enabling test engineers to focus on complex test scenarios.
6. Testing in Agile &DevOps Environments: Organizations gradually embracing Agile and DevOps practices to reduce time to market, will gain the competitive edge.
7. Wearable and IoT testing: As enormous datais collected and exchanged across multiple channels and platforms, wearable and IoT testing is becoming unavoidable.
8. Telematics Testing: With the growing demand for smarter automobiles, software testing and validation of automotive infotainment and telematics technologies is becoming crucial.
9. Quality Engineering: Organizations are seeking comprehensive, collaborative and robust Quality Engineering (QE) Services beyond the traditional QA.
10. Service Virtualization: Service Virtualization will continue to play a significant role by the increasing adoption of Agile & DevOps practices.
