Top Software Testing Trends to Watch Out For in 2020

We have seen the continuation of developing trends and the emergence of new trends in 2019. This year, our team of automation experts has cast a few predictions on the latest trends in the software testing industry. Check them out! To see the recap on 2019 software testing trends, read our article here. 1. Intelligent automation will continue to be on the software testing radar in 2020, according to a variety of reports. Applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) have been leveraged in software test automation before.

In 2019, quality assurance (QA) teams have applied AI/ML in predicting test quality, prioritizing test cases, classifying defects, detecting test objects, interacting with applications under tests (AUT), and so on. It is expected that AI will be omnipresent in every sphere of innovative technology. The other pillar on which intelligent automation rests is machine learning. 2. 3. 4. Software Testing Trends 2019 Recap. 2019 is almost over.

Software Testing Trends 2019 Recap

The software testing landscape has seen numerous introductions in new testing approaches and innovations at an exponential rate. It has also witnessed the continuation of technological improvement, evolution, and reinvention. As we are progressing to 2020, let’s take a retrospective look at the top trends in test automation and see how we stand after one year. Our team at Katalon has reflected on the most popular trends that took place in the software testing industry over the course of one year.

We have compiled the five most influential software testing trends in 2019. 1. Katalon Smart Wait: A New Way to Handle Web Loading Issues. For those who are familiar with Selenium WebDriver, one of the most common features is the Wait command.

Katalon Smart Wait: A New Way to Handle Web Loading Issues

These commands are handy in test scripts execution, or observing and troubleshooting issues that arise due to time lag. Wait commands are powerful — but they also come along with a big problem with timing due to front-end processing. Starting from version 7.0.0, we have introduced the Smart Wait feature that helps you handle Selenium wait issues without any additional test scripts. The #1 Selenium’s Villain: Timing Issue Most web applications today are developed using front-end technologies such as Javascript or Ajax. Desktop Application Testing with Katalon Studio 7. We’ve incorporated desktop application (app) testing to Katalon Studio — starting from version 7.0.0.

You have probably known about these practices: continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment as well. What is Regression Testing? Definition, Tools & How to Get Started. What is regression testing?

What is Regression Testing? Definition, Tools & How to Get Started

Regression testing is a software testing practice that ensures an application still functions as expected after any code changes, updates, or improvements. Regression testing is responsible for the overall stability and functionality of the existing features. Whenever a new modification is added to the code, regression testing is applied to guarantee that after each update, the system stays sustainable under continuous improvements. Research Done For You (2019 Updated) The third wave of test automation brings about more concepts in software delivery – one of which is ‘continuous testing.’

However, mastering continuous testing is difficult; choosing the right continuous testing tool is even more overwhelming. Using the right tool is incredibly beneficial to your software testing and delivery success. We compiled a list of 10 most popular continuous testing tools (ranked in no particular order) that are currently in the market. Under each tool, we analyzed the features and possible drawbacks based on certain criteria, including types of supported test, learning curve, used programming language, continuous testing support, CI/CD ecosystem support, breakthrough features, and so on. 1.

In today’s rapidly changing world, software products need to be upgraded frequently and quickly to bring value to customers and users.

Software features are continuously developed, tested, deployed, and operated in the production environment. New features are not only developed and tested successfully, but they also deployed and operated without much chaos and disruption. Software cross-functional teams which include product owners, software development, quality assurance (QA), operations need to work together to ensure the fast flow of work from development to operation. What to Consider Before Applying CI/CD.

Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) is a complex part of any development cycle. It involves continuously integrating code into a shared repository to keep code progression amongst a team of developers running smooth and steady. This helps prevent merging errors, duplicated efforts and promoting collaboration to create a better product. That code is then thoroughly and continuously tested to keep problems from arising. From there, the code is then deployed to production to be continuously delivered to the live environment. As the CI/CD pipeline has many steps and continuously runs throughout the development cycle, that complexity can cause many headaches. What are Microservices? A Complete Introduction for Beginners. Microservices are a type of architectural style for building software that has been gaining popularity.

The concept was first introduced at a tech conference in 2011 and has been adopted by many Agile enterprises such as Netflix, Amazon, Uber, SoundCloud, Groupon, eBay, to name a few. So, what are microservices? What are the benefits of microservices? And why are so many large enterprises have been implementing this method into their DevOps and continuous testing strategies? We’re going to break down these concepts and give you a better understanding of how they work. Top 10 Benefits of Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery. Continuous Integration (CI) allows you to continuously integrate code into a single shared and easy to access repository. Continuous Delivery (CD) allows you to take the code stored in the repository and continuously deliver it to production. CI/CD creates a fast and effective process of getting your product to market before your competition as well as releasing new features and bug fixes to keep your current customers happy.
