Now-a-days the world of testing has shifted towards a Continuous Testing model. With increasing digital transformation, Agile & DevOps principles, the need to scale up quality initiatives becomes inevitable. Moreover, with increasing complexity and continuous integration cycles, the frequency of tests to release apps in a shorter time frame with continuous testing becomes the need of the hour to match the speed of Agile & DevOps.
Fast feedback loops and immediate responses allow businesses to adapt to changes in the market quicker than ever before. This is made possible with automation and continuous testing. But how do you achieve continuous testing?
In this, our specialist Sushma Nayak will discuss the present-day best practices in test automation at Knoldus and will examine the key testing trends that focus on the adoption of Continuous Delivery and the evolution of test automation in the coming year.

5. Why was test automation evolved?
“Software never was perfect and won’t get perfect. But is that a license to create garbage?
The missing ingredient is our reluctance to quantify quality.”— Boris Beizer

Quality of a product is
enhanced by
automation
Speed makes
automation more
efficient
Automation testing offers a
high level of scalability as you
only need to add more test
executors to the testing
platform or tool.
When you perform
automation testing, you write
a test script one time and get
to reuse it as many times as
you like.
This is a one time investment.
Test Automation as Aid
7. Today in this new era, customers demand for superlative
product.Hence to accomplish this continuous development,
Devops and continuous testing came into picture. Some of the
points which we focus in Knoldus are:
Whenever test cases are to be executed many
times in a cycle
Whenever there is too many test cases in test suite.
Hence to increase the test execution coverage.
Whenever we need to run Regression/Sanity/Smoke
test cases after delivery

9. According to a report, the
market of mobile app testing
will generate a revenue of
$8.23 billion by 2025.
According to Statista, mobile
apps are supposed to
generate around $189 Billion
US dollars in revenues.

10. The Internet of things (IoT) tells us that the network of physical
objects—a.k.a. "things"—that are embedded with sensors, software, and
other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with
other devices and systems over the internet. Here in Knoldus we are gearing
up for this.
Description
As predicted the number of
connected devices will be more than
25 billion by end of 2021 when
compared to the figure of just 6.4
billion during 2016
It is is fortuned that there will be
need for an effective IoT testing
strategy
According to Globenewswire – the
IoT testing market value is expected
to grow up to USD 3624.23 billion
by 2025.

11. The AI market $28.42
billion in 2019 to
$40.74 billion in 2020
at a Compound Annual
Growth Rate (CAGR)
of 43.39%.
Investment in AI and
ML-based testing tools
and practices, over 60%
of respondents are
looking to invest in AI &
ML in code-less testing.
With AI supporting the
development and
maintenance of
automated testing, 100%
code coverage is no
longer a pipe dream or a
massive time sink
AI to become the top investment priority of CIOs by 2021.
The market for AI is predicted to be around $6-7 billion in
North America alone

QAOps is the practice of integrating quality assurance(QA) into into
CI/CD pipeline
The framework improves collaboration between QA engineers and developers and
operations. Here at Knoldus this is considered as one of the best practices.
We are achieving QAOps by using automated testing, parallel testing, enhancing
scalability and involving developers and IT Ops in the QA function.
QAOps
13. Big Data Testing
Big Data Testing, will be most obvious testing in the coming era.This involves examining and validating the
functionality of the Big Data Applications as we know that Big Data is a collection of a huge amount of data that
traditional storage systems cannot handle.
Big Data Testing
● Data Ingestion
● Data Processing
● Validation of the Output
● Batch Data Processing Test
● Real-Time Data Processing Test
● Interactive Data Processing Test

codeless Test
Automation
It is the process of creating automated tests without writing a single line of code. Codeless
automation helps to automate the process of writing tests scripts regardless of skill level.
Over 40% have an interest in using script-less/intelligent test automation solutions this year.

15. A perfect blend of
automation testing with
manual testing will be
the key
Test automation is a
necessity in today’s
fast-
paced development
environments.
As the survey results
show, over the next
twelve months, test
automation
efforts are going to
continue to gain
traction.
A push
to implement test
