  1. TestOps – changing paradigm of QA

 

Software quality assurance is moving towards continuous integration and delivery to improve software quality in 2020. The DevOps is also bringing new changes in the world of software testing as it requires continuous testing. Testers need to change their mindset to take software testing as a continuous process. Software quality is ensured when you test each release that can be done through automation,Top 6 Software Testing Trends of 2020 Articles as well. 

Many companies have started their groundwork by applying DevOps, release automation, monitoring, and test automation, release consistency to imporove total quality management for software.

  1. Adding value to the business 

 

The quality assurance process is time-consuming and can delay the entire process, but looking at the whole picture, and this adds a lot of value to the business. The software quality assurance helps in reducing the number of bugs and improves end-user experience. Any software with bugs is not acceptable and can harm the development company's reputation along with the product. 

 

  1. A paradigm shift from performance testing to engineering 

 

Performance testing is done to deliver robust software. Next year, the use of performance testing will continue to increase and add value to testing. Performance engineering has a list of benefits such as:

 

  • Better revenues and profits with an increase in conversions
  • Enriched end-user experience 
  • Reduce the cost of maintaining hardware and software
  • Reduce the cost of change required for improving performance
  • Early detection of bugs 
  • It Improves customer experience and the viability of the product. 

 

 

  1. Big Data Testing 

 

The big data is trending and has been used to test the applications created using big data. In the coming years, there will be a lot of upcoming technologies to test and fit in a variety of landscapes. 

 

  1. AI testing

 

Artificial testing is now getting a lot of attention in the software industry as it offers a lot of benefits. AI could help in improving software testing as it can perform testing from the end-user perspective. It can identify the problems just like humans. We can also use AI to match the two images and find differences in their backgrounds and icons if any. An algorithm based on AI can also be used to improve the texture used in the image. 

 

  1. Focusing on End User experience

The overall experience offered by an application or website is listed on the top for software quality assurance. Usability testing becomes essential to deliver an enriching experience. Random users should perform the testing as they could find flaws that the developer will not be able to see. Users have a different perspective to view things. Hallway testing is highly useful to check the end-user satisfaction. 

 

Conclusion

 

Now you have the list of new trends that will be going to rule the software testing industry in 2020. You can dive deep to gain a better understanding of each one of them to deliver better and productive software.
