In 2019, we have witnessed the rise of numerous trendy practices in automated testing that appeared to change this industry forever. Big Data, AI, machine learning, and other technologies are revolutionizing QA testing and bringing it to a brand-new level!
So, let’s unravel what trends in automated testing are waiting for you in 2021!
Trend One: The Growth of Cybersecurity Testing
IBM’s report has revealed that data breaches were the biggest financial threat for US companies, which have amounted to nearly $8.19 million in total losses. It is recommended that QA specialists use vulnerability scanners and static code analyses to address data threats and enhance the state of security systems.
Trend Two: Robotic Process Automation to Improve Software Quality
Robotic process automation is a growing trend in the field of automated testing. By adding a bit of robotics to the QA process, you’ll have the opportunity to detect technical problems in software and structure APIs in the system in the blink of an eye.
Trend Three: The Rise of ‘Hyper Automation’
‘Hyper automation’ will gain traction in 2021. This trend combines machine learning and various automation testing tools to measure and track testing results. By doing so, ‘hyper automation’ speeds up and automates some QA tasks in the software testing process.
