As an emerging trend in recent years, test automation has become an essential part of modern software development lifecycles. Here are the 5 impressive figures that reveal the future of software testing in 2020 and beyond extracted from Katalon latest Test Automation Landscape Report.
- 75% of respondents have adopted CI/CD and DevOps in their projects.
In recent years, one of the SaaS companies’ top challenges is quickly responding to market and customer demands, leading to the emergence of CI/CD or DevOps methodology as a pivotal solution for most teams.
- 41% of respondents said that Security is the highest priority when choosing an automation testing tool.
As one of the most important concerns in IT, security is the highest priority. In some of the highly regulated industries (i.e., healthcare or finance), tools proven to be secure, safe, and standards-compliant are what the teams look for.
- 50% of test projects in QA teams are performed with test automation.
The majority of respondents stated that about half of their teams’ test projects are currently being tested via automation testing, and almost a quarter of them, 23.5%, replied that most of their testing was handled by automation.
- About 40% of respondents reported that automated test prioritization is a required automation technique developed further in the testing industry.
Automated test prioritization is the most anticipated feature as it can reduce QA teams’ time and effort in the process of testing by prioritizing the test cases that require earlier and extra attention from the teams.
- 57% of QA team’s expertise has a strong influence on the choice of automation testing tools.
The report found that less than 1-year experience teams have a higher tendency to choose accessible and codeless platforms that enable them to build their first automated test scripts with ease. Over half of respondents (57%), who have less than one year of experience in automation testing, perform their automated tests with Katalon Studio beside other codeless solutions. With the rising popularity of codeless testing solutions, teams can better tackle the inherent complexity of automation testing frameworks.
Above are the top 5 picks that we extract from the Report of 2020 Test Automation Landscape, conducted by Katalon with the participants of over 5000 IT Professionals worldwide. This is really the future of Software Testing in 2020 and beyond.
