    Unlike in the past, today software testing is not just about identifying and troubleshooting application issues. Earlier, the goal of software testing was solely to make sure high performance and quality in the shipped products. Nowadays, there are many things in which software testing can help organizations specifically in speeding up their product deliver process while maintaining the quality.

    So, I would like to hear more about the software testing trends so that I can strategize my company’s testing process more effectively.

    I think one of the most popular trends is test automation. If you want to implement DevOps practices effectively, your team need to give importance to test automation. It is an integral part of the DevOps process.

    As test automation is considered a very important bottleneck of DevOps, at a minimum, the majority of regression testing should be automated.

    Given the popularity of DevOps and the fact that test automation is not utilized well, with less than 20% of testing being automated, there is quite a lot of room to enhance the adoption of test automation in organizations.

    You can take help from existing popular and reliable automation tools like Katalon, Selenium, HeadSpin, and TestComplete. They are continuing to evolve with new features that is definitely making automation way easier.

    I hope this might have helped you.

Shift-Left Testing is software testing trends I often use to update trend. This trend involves shifting testing activities earlier in the software development lifecycle (Spacebar Clicker). By integrating testing activities with development processes, issues can be identified and addressed earlier, reducing the overall cost and time required for testing.</p>
