Over the years, the tech world has started to realize the value of software testing and therefore, it has managed to expand across different industries. Right from the applications, software, and website, industry enthusiasts have started to shift their focus on adopting advanced technologies like AI and ML into the development process. However, the advancement made to these solutions have also made way for upgrading the standards surrounding software testing using the latest testing technologies and future best practices. Some of the few trends that I would like to highlight include: 

  • Big Data Testing 
  • AI in software testing (prediction of failure points, easy documentation, automated test case generation, etc.)
  • DevTestOps 
  • HyperAutomation 
  • Regression Testing etc.  

If you need to explore these testing trends in detail, you can even access this blog link https://www.bugraptors.com/blog/software-testing-trends-that-will-rule-2021 for further information.  

I would love to know the missing points or any best practices to which testers across the globe are looking forward.
