5 Things That Will Impact the Future of Software Testing

In the past few decades, software testing has evolved in terms of both the tools used to perform different activities and the mindset of the people using those tools. There used to be only a handful of tools used in software testing, but now we have a plethora of tools to choose from, from proprietary to open source. Likewise, people have started thinking of testers as information brokers instead of gatekeepers, and there have been a lot of positive developments in the agile world that have contributed to significant changes in the processes that teams follow in their software development lifecycle. Advancements in technology are to thank for these evolutions. From the way we look at software, evaluate risks, think about complexity, design our test approach and strategy, and help to release a stable product to the customer, technology has definitely had an influence on how we test software, and that influence will only continue as technology advances.
