Forthcoming Innovations in IT or QA:
Let’s now explore the “Upcoming Major Trends In IT or QA” – rapidly growing tendencies worth keeping tabs on:
The past year has borne witness to significant fluctuations in the IT sector, and we expect these areas to progress further in the coming year:
#1. Hybrid clouds:
What was once an abstract thought has now transformed into a permanent fixture. Hybrid clouds present numerous benefits like cost efficiency, scalability, and convenient availability. However, the market focus is transitioning towards striking the right equilibrium between cloud and on-site resources to guarantee agility, flexibility, and efficient risk management. Consequently, IT teams need to master the skill of optimally utilizing both cloud and on-site resources throughout the product lifecycle.
The influence of hybrid clouds on QA is evident in Performance Testing. It necessitates dedicated resources to realize it. Renowned performance testing tool Load Runner has now introduced the Micro Focus Performance Center, with ALM integration to offer readily accessible resources across different projects and teams through a scalable cloud structure.
This integration facilitates early performance testing by integrating performance evaluations at the code level, thereby making it a core component of the entire app lifecycle (DevOps). Other performance testing tools are anticipated to take similar actions. Therefore, performance testers should seize this chance to immerse themselves in this innovative method and emerge as thought leaders in performance testing. For more insight on Micro Focus Performance Center, kindly visit Micro Focus Performance Center.
#2. Testing based on models:
The significance attributed to the “Model Based Tester” certificate, a part of the ISTQB CTFL Certification, implies the rising importance of model-based testing.
Simply put, model-based testing employs visual models to design tests and navigate within systems. Modeling languages such as UML, Java, among others are used to create these models. Numerous test automation tools have also incorporated this inventive testing technique, and “Conformiq” is one such tool suite. To learn more about model-based testing, explore this link.
#3. Crowd sourcing:
The era when software development was strictly an internal organizational pursuit is long gone. In today’s times, software systems are being directly utilized by final users and clients. This change in usage has resulted in the inclusion of crowd sourcing, or beta testing, as an invaluable technique.
Crowd sourcing provides the benefit of collecting authentic and dynamic responses from actual users, as opposed to theoretical tests carried out in controlled environments by software professionals. This method is gaining traction and importance, considering the escalating user base. For further information and to participate in crowd sourcing, please refer to this simple guide on crowd sourced testing.
#4. Integration of DevOps and Agile:
Integrating Agile and DevOps into application life cycles has been a trending topic for a while now, and it continues to develop. These methodologies are expected to stay germane and set trends in the IT sector for the next few years.
STH has curated content that can provide you with a solid foundation in these areas if you’re interested in delving into them further in the New Year. Click on the links below:
#5. Testing of Mobile Applications:
As expected, mobile testing has earned its place on this list. With mobile application usage on the rise, it is currently one of the most in-demand career paths.
As the field expands, so do job opportunities for mobile application testing. If you haven’t ventured into this path yet, we urge you to consider a career in mobile application testing. To assist you on this journey, we have prepared an in-depth article on Mobile Testing Career Guidance.
On behalf of the STH team, I, Swati S, hope that this New Year motivates you to explore uncharted areas and welcome new experiences.
We deeply value your consistent support.
Please share your objectives for the coming year with us!
Here’s wishing you a Happy New Year, 2016!
