To improve the quality of a software product built by developers, software testing is the key. Testing is essential to ensure that the end product delivered is stable and works according to the required specifications. As software testing plays a significant role in the delivery of the final product, it is necessary to consider that the testing process must involve accurate, exhaustive test cases and firm test strategy.

Advancements in technology improve the lives of people and save time and money for organizations year after year and there is no reason that the next year, 2020 will be any different. When new techniques and technologies come to the fore, people are hesitant to use them at first but once they become popular and prove to be useful and time-saving, people start using them more. And when the adoption of such techniques and technologies become widespread, they tend to become trends.
The software testing landscape continues to evolve. We have seen the continuation of developing trends and the emergence of new trends in 2019. This year, our team of automation experts has cast a few predictions on the latest trends in the software testing industry. Check them out!
Certifications, typically, are proof of the enhanced prowess in the stream for which the course has been taken. Certifications and Courses help validate as well as enhance our technical capability in a specific vertical. There are hundreds of tools through which the automation code can be written in different programming languages. A lot of these tools also need a fair amount of time to be invested in learning courses and doing certifications.
When we consider performance testing most of the focus of the approach is placed on the script creation activity and making sure that requirements are covered, these are very important parts of your performance testing approach but so is the Test Execution. The frequency at which you run your tests is important and can save you time and effort in your script maintenance. A good performance testing execution strategy gives you the maximum amount of benefit it can by finding performance issues early.
