Top 10 Software Testing Trends
We all are in the year 2022 with new objectives
and goals. We sincerely hope for the best year
ahead for all of us. QAble is the best software
testing company in India, where we follow the
latest trends in software testing.
As a QA company, our ultimate aim is to deliver
the bug-free application to our clients. Also,
testing drives quality, and being an experienced
company, we make sure to keep the world informed
about if. However, technology has grown a lot,
and so with the testing trends. Here we will know
about software testing trends in 2022 that
maintain the agility of your application.

1. API Service Test Automation
The current design trend in Web and Mobile
Applications is decoupling the client and server.
In the application, the technical team reuses API
and services. Hence there is a need to test the
APIs and reused services.
If client applications and components have reused
APIs services, the QA team should focus on
validating them rather than testing the client.
This approach will be more efficient, effective,
and accurate. Hence, we recommend the team run
API Service test automation through API testing
tools and make an application more interactive,
appealing, focused, and goal-oriented.

2. Artificial Intelligence For Testing
The implementation of AI (Artificial
Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning) is well
known. Now the testing team should be focused on
testing an application using the approach of AI.
There are various algorithms of AI that help to
generate reliable and better test cases, scripts,
test reports, and test data. Its predictive model
helps the testers for the identification of when
what, and what to test. Using the provision of
analytics and visualization support, the QA team
gets an effective plan after detecting bugs and
identifying high-risk areas. Although this
testing approach is in the early stage but being
a tester, one should keep following. Experts will
get the ways to optimize this testing method
through Artificial Intelligence and Machine
Learning

3. Mobile Test Automation
The implementation of AI (Artificial
Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning) is well
known. Now the testing team should be focused on
testing an application using the approach of AI.
Mobile application users are increasing
continuously, and industries are more inclined
towards smart applications. The testing is
trending because it allows more time for product
marketing and implements automation testing tools
for the effectiveness of the app.

4. Test Environment Data
Another new trend in software testing is test
environment data. We know, the increasing
growth and demand for IoT (Internet of
Things) devices have excelled the need for test
environment data.
Further, we all are pretty well aware of the
cloud-based and containerized test
environment. In such a scenario, the testing team
should enhance their skills in order to validate
the application under various environments. Also,
they need to assure, no loss of data during
migrations. Because of this reason, organizations
are aggressively working on it, and developing
strategies to make an exceptional product.

5. User Experience Test
User experience is something with which no one
compromises. If an application is incapable of
building connections, it is useless. Thus,
validating UX becomes one of the latest trends in
software testing.
The ultimate intention behind software
development is to make it compatible,
user-friendly, and innovative. By performing user
experience tests, the QA team does its best to
achieve these required objectives.

6. Test Automation
Testing covers a comprehensive range of test
cases. And most of them are effectively achieved
through test automation. Also, through
automation, the QA team gets assured results in a
quick time.
We know, everywhere you cant perform automation
testing. However, some critical test cases can be
performed using automation techniques. Also, the
testing technique identifies high-risk areas and
notify for a better plan of action. Further, as
technologies are evolving, there are many
trending tools in software testing that increase
the potential of the business application and
make it compatible.

7. Agile and DevOps
DevOps are one of the trending technologies for
application development, hence, their testing
methods. Agile and DevOps testing help for the
adoption of rapidly changing environments
delivering focused output along with the
performance.
Further, following the testing method, the QA
team ensures the quality of the application along
with its speed. Also, it comes under leading
software testing trends in 2022, and if you are
willing to bring quality to the DevOps
application, this method is mandatory.

8. Audio Video Testing
This Covid time has locked the professionals into
their homes and, they are operating from there
only. Further, Audios and Videos are the only
modes through which the world has connected now.
The approach makes testing of audio and video
mandatory.
Also, when your mode of interaction relies on
this part, it must work efficiently otherwise,
the whole purpose is defeated. Hence, we
recommend testing applications based on these
factors is essential. By using automated testing
tools, you can easily verify the quality of
images, videos, sound, etc.

9. Blockchain Testing
Cryptocurrency has taken the world into a new
era, and everyone is running behind it. As per
the records of 2021, many companies have accepted
cryptocurrency as a form of payment. We assure,
this year the number will be even more.
It clearly shows blockchain testing is one of the
new trends in software testing that assures the
security of all transactions. By being in the QA
industry for so many years, we can visualize the
demand for blockchain testing, and we are sure to
fulfill the same.

10. Cybersecurity Testing
Quality testing ensures the security of an
application because this is its ultimate aim.
Also, to assure the security of software, experts
keep on investigating the best and effective
testing methods and tools. Server attacks are one
of the major concerns of the IT industry, and
they are doing their best to offer high-level
security. Hence in the year 2022, cybersecurity
testing needs attention
While performing cybersecurity testing, we need
to determine crucial security susceptibilities at
the very early steps of SDLC (Software
Development Life Cycle). Also, those issues need
to be sorted immediately before they create any
damage. Further, pay attention to the data
protection of consumers, stakeholders, and other
involved partners. Also, do your best to
strengthen your reputation and build trust.
