6. The following 5 trends are in the software testing
industry tower:
•- Mobile Application Testing
•- Testing-as-a-service
•- Business Intelligence Testing
•- Crowd Sourced Testing
• - Testing catalyzed through test
• data generation and management
7. Mobile Application Testing
•Over 500 million
mobile phones
•by 2014
Top 10 mobile apps types in 2012:
1: Money Transfer
2: Location-Based Services
3: Mobile Search
4: Mobile Browsing
5: Mobile Health Monitoring
6: Mobile Payment
7: Near Field Communication Services
8: Mobile Advertising
9: Mobile Instant Messaging
10: Mobile Music
8. Testing-as-a-service
• Key benefits:
• Lower cost than in-house software testing services
• Service-level compliance
• Reduced risk through fewer defects
• Flexibility to scale testing as needed
• without incremental investment
• Shorter cycle times
• TaaS is sometimes referred to as
• Cloud Testing or Managed Testing.
9. Business Intelligence Testing
Quantum:
- Mathematic
- Programming
- Business analysis
•BI uses for:
• - Business operations reporting.
• - Multidimensional analysis.
• - Finding patterns in data.
• - Decision making.
• - Forecasting.
• - Dashboard.
10. Crowd Sourced Testing
- Software is consumer centric
- Working with a large group of people
- Expertise in specialized area(s) is
required
- Necessity in end user scenarious
simulation
- Not enough resources/ time, clear
product requirements and overall strategy
- Access to global talent and diverse set of
skills.
11. Testing catalyzed through test data generation and
management
• - Confidential information gets exposed to testers
•- A breach of this data can lead to serious damage
• - Test data management ensures the availability and
security of the test data by obfuscating it on large
scale testing engagements.
• - Lots of testing vendors are now researching on
various methods to mask this data
• - ‘Test-only’ data help maintain
• privacy and security
12. • – More testing by End user to change?
How is QA going 5%
• – More testing by Developers
5%
• – Significantly shorter development cycles
7%
• – More knowledgeable QA Resources
7%
• – Increased appreciation for QA
8%
• – Improved Processes
14%
• – More Test Automation
31%
13. Future of QA - Automation
• - Get requirements right by thoroughly testing them.
• - Automating the writing of the test cases and test
scripts.
• - Automated environment for testing.
• - Deployment testing is automated.
• - Production is automatically
• monitored and tested
• - Automated system allows for
• Troubleshooting and Diagnostics.
