7 Incredible Test Automation Trends For 2022 (Also Continue In 2023)

5. Non-functional testing
One of the most vital metrics defining a software product's success is the customer or end-user
satisfaction. Thus, non-functional testing is crucial to enhance the product's efficiency,
performance and usability while minimising production risks and expenditure.
Some fundamental non-functional testing includes:
●

Security testing
Performance testing
Stress testing
Accessibility testing
Disaster recovery testing
Infrastructure testing,
Load testing
6. Continuous testing
Testing in the early phases of application development is incredibly important and valuable. And
organisations realise it.

Introducing testing in each phase of the application development process allows
developers to get feedback quickly about the developed code and detect critical issues
that might have been left undetected until later.
Continuous testing supports several modern software release management
approaches, including as DevSecOps and CI/CD integration.
When early testing is combined with automation, it delivers remarkable results for an
organisation. This trend will ride the high tide of popularity in 2022.
7. Mobile automation testing
It is not a new discovery that mobile users have increased tremendously. Therefore, mobile
testing has evolved much more than just being a buzzword in the industry.
With more prevalence of mobile applications and evolving demands for software updates, there
is more pressure on mobile application developers to make them faster, better performing and
responsive for the end users.
The following are some top mobile testing trends dominating in 2022:
● Changing release schedules (since mobile applications are released very often)
● The utilisation of open-source tools
● Increasing leverage on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
