Dublin, July 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Automation Testing Market – Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 – 2026)” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The automation testing market is expected to grow at 14.2% CAGR during the forecast period from 2021 to 2026. The automation testing market is driven by growth in the demand for automation of the testing process and solutions to seamless customer experience and rising usage of AI-enabled cutting-edge technologies for software testing environments. However, factors like increasing complexity for implementing the transition from manual to automated testing is likely to impede the growth of the market in the coming years. The shift for automation testing has been majorly driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). AI has been gaining importance in testing as it reduces the test lifecycle. It is being used in all aspects of testing, including automation testing, functional testing, regression testing, and performance testing.

With the continuous movement of software development to DevOps and other high-paced developments, there is a more frequent requirement to specify test environments to ensure that systems work efficiently. At the current testing scenario, yet the ability of organizations to model and manage testing capacity accurately is immature. The performance testers are theoretically well-placed to help out in this situation. Still, they are naturally cautious about the modeling capacity since testing functions can take high annual costs due to additional capacity usage. In the past few years, the software testing world has witnessed significant changes, where Test Automation has evolved to facilitate rapid software releases at the highest quality. Automation has always been an eyecatching trend, as it lessens the standard testing efforts and accelerates the testing process.

To achieve the goal of autonomous testing. AI has to become an integral part of software testing tools. Each test cycle generates tons of data, which can be used for identifying and resolving test failures. After each test run, the data can be fed back to the AI algorithms. With such increasing advantages of integrating AI in testing, the demand for technology has been increasing. For instance, in April 2020, Applitools, a provider of visual AI-powered test automation, announced an industry report stating the impact of visual AI on the performance of open-source test frameworks like Selenium, WebdriverIO, and Cypress. The result showed that the effects of visual AI on automation testing show a 4.6 times increase in test stability, 5.9 times better test code efficiency, and 5.8 times faster authoring.

With the increased usage of AI in the development of test tools, the tools can self-heal at runtime. Self-healing automation testing anticipated to be one of the biggest automation testing trends over the forecast period. Owing to these, the market is witnessing new launches. For instance, in June 2020, Qualitest announced the launch of Qualisense, a new AI-powered software testing and QA toolkit. Qualisense is the next iteration of the company’s Qualisense Test Predictor service and will be a standalone product. The new solution is anticipated to leverage machine learning to optimize testing and quality delivery, reduce the need for specific tests, help quality engineers be more efficient, remove bottlenecks, and enhance risk-based testing protocols. According to Qualitest, companies using Qualisense have seen a more than six times increase in release velocity.

At the time of the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the significantly significant vendors operating in the market are focusing on automating IT operations to recover from the crisis. Firms will invest more in cognitive capabilities and artificial intelligence and robotic process automation (RPA) as businesses recover post-COVID-19. The pandemic has made automation coupled with testing a boardroom imperative as companies expand business continuity plans and take new risks. For instance, in May 2020, IBM Corporation had announced a broad range of new AI-powered services designed to help enterprises automate their infrastructures to be more resilient to upcoming disruptions and reduce the total cost of ownership.
