Lot of organizations are moving towards DevOps Automation testing, Continuous Integration and Delivery. Software testing has evolved over the years. What is the next big thing to happen in the software testing space? Share your thoughts! Saving Changes...
Good topic! I've been away from software projects for a while, before we move onto the next big things it would be really useful to know what are the current approaches that everyone's projects are using for testing. Just basic things, like how many tiers (unit/system/uat/live etc etc), what software are you using to run tests/scripts, what are you using to log bugs, are you outsourcing testing, what about load testing, regression testing etc etc. Would be useful to know whether working in agile or waterfall (or other) environments too. Testing is such an important topic but often does not get the exposure it needs. Saving Changes...
I agree! In my projects, we have performed unit, system testing, we have also used automated tools like selenium web driver framework, uft etc. Saving Changes...
Interesting! My development colleagues are using Jira for issue/bug tracking, seem to like it too. What other systems are everyone else on here using for testing? Saving Changes...

Hi Venkata,
Based on my experience, we may end up going back to basics (what IT guys used to do in first generation). Most of the techniques and methodologies are now embracing good old days. Example, Mario is a comeback, Agile methodology, visual management is what used to be done earlier. When things get over-complicated, the push is to go back to good old ways.
Most likely AI and automated testing will be in for 15-20 years and then good old human/manual testing will make a comeback.
Thanks,

Sachin, that's interesting - manual is so time consuming though- especially nowadays as so many different product features and so much complexity. But a well tested product is so much more valuable than one with faults, so perhaps you will be proven to be right in time. Meanwhile, Oracle testing is a current issue of mine.
Best regards

Definitely geared toward more automation especially for smoke tests and some regression tests. Already a lot of positions for testers require experience with VB, .NET and SOAP UI coding/automation, and further more down this line. As a matter of fact, people are even guessing that there will be a replacement to a lot of manpower with the introduction of AI in the near future. Not long though...
One thing is for sure though-- nothing can replace an intelligent set of eyes when it comes to quality :-) Saving Changes...
