The following is the translation:

With DevOps and agile development methods replace traditional methods of software development to flourish. The emergence of these methods has brought innovation and application of new testing technologies. For professional QA staff, only to quickly adapt to the new pace of change in the field of testing and development of the industry followed, only to become a better QA.

Research software testing trends can let the team keep up with the latest innovations in the field of testing. Contribute to help the team to optimize test processes to maximize test efficiency.

For these reasons, we are going to study trends in 2020, the field test that may arise in depth.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)

Application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the field of software testing is still in its infancy. However, recent advances in this field can help us to experiment on large data sets. The availability of these valuable data provides new possibilities for software testing to meet the challenges of artificial intelligence or machine learning.

Machine learning can help optimize workflow and testing process. It can be used the following tests:

Test suite is optimized by identifying redundant test.
Build a predictive model based on analysis of historical data on the calculate key parameters during the test.
And help reduce the risk analysis, regression test cases are sorted according to priority.
Research test coverage.

Mobile Test Automation

The mobile industry continued explosive growth. According Statista report , the 2020, the global number of mobile subscribers will grow to 7.26 billion. Businesses and organizations will continue rolling out mobile applications. If you want to get a better user experience, build robust mobile applications will need to be thoroughly tested.

Therefore, the mobile application testing automation needs steadily. This trend is to shorten the time to market and faster publishing applications demand driven.

The test team can use platforms like BrowserStack, broadly on a real mobile device to perform automated tests for applications. The platform also provides integration with popular mobile application automation framework (such as Appium, EarlGrey, XCUITest) of.

In the era of mobile applications, the test team for the desktop users is also important to optimize the performance of web applications. For this purpose, BrowserStack also allows the use of QA Selenium like automated test frameworks web application.

Things tests

And artificial intelligence and machine learning similar things is very fashionable term to get another widespread concern. Things will continue to heat up in 2020, it became one of the most popular technologies. So that things can be perceived by the embedded device each sensor. Gartner report predicts that by 2020 there will be 5.8 billion terminal is used. Test infrastructure is critical to the following questions to assess things in the system:
