Testing automation has great benefits for businesses, including time and cost savings, enhanced efficiency, and better overall final software product quality.
With the technologies evolving and different businesses adopting various tools and technologies to get an edge when it comes to testing automation. We have seen a few innovations and a lot of developments.
In this blog, we are sharing the biggest trends to expect when it comes to testing automation.
Codeless automated testing
Codeless automated testing has been here for years. You can expect it to become more mature in the next ones. As it becomes more reliable, more testers can rely on codeless tools to test or at least part of it.
This can be one of the biggest trends for testing automation this year and in the next few ones. Then you should be considering these tools from now.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are disrupting many tech sectors. Testing automation could be no different, as AI and ML will seemingly have great use for this application in the next years.
This could be a game-changer for platforms and solutions offering automation. As they can give automation tools the edge they need over manual human tests done by testers.
They can also help in creating tools that minimize the effort of testers that you waste on repetitive tasks. In order to focus more on the most important aspects that can only be taken care of by people.
Automated API testing
One of the most beneficial applications of automated testing is automated API testing. Testing APIs can be challenging. Using automated testing with them makes sense as they are used with various software with a huge scope of variables.
We could be seeing companies building APIs among the first ones to implement new testing technologies in the future, and it won’t be any strange.
Testing automation pipelines
One of the biggest trends we are looking forward to when it comes to testing automation is automation pipelines. The days of standalone may be soon over, with entire pipelines replacing them.
Such pipelines can be quickly designed using codeless platforms, which we have seen developing and enhancing its reliability over time.
