The software testing industry has evolved and transformed itself into a more robust and inclusive function, ready to deliver businesses of the future influenced by new ways of working, hitherto considered difficult. This point of view report, in collaboration with KPMG, outlines the current trends that have shaped the software testing industry, since (our last report before) the pandemic. The insights are based on discussions with experts from service integrators (SIs), global capability centres (GCCs) and product-based organisations on topics covering industry trends, business models, people, budget, methodologies, automation, technologies, tools and challenges.

Key Highlights

Industry trend: Accelerated digitalisation and its impact on IT advancement and software testing

The pandemic accelerated digital transformation across organisations and those that adopted digital strategies earlier have done significantly well. According to GMInsights, while the Global test market exceeded USD40 billion in 2020 and is estimated to grow between 7% to 12% CAGR until 2025, the market is estimated to add an incremental USD34.5 billion for the period 2021 – 25

Testing tools: The debate continues - script-less and open-source over licensed tools

With an ever-increasing demand for custom software solutions in support of digital transformation, it has sparked the emergence of testers outside of the traditional IT organisation and has influenced the rise in codeless testing tools. Such tools bridge the gap between non-technical and technical teams, and are being widely considered for adoption by many testing organisations. Test automation status: Progressively meeting expectations

Generally, organisations seemed to have achieved 50% automation levels, while a few aim to achieve levels of 80% test automation. With most automation directed towards execution, organisations need to focus on process efficiency than just execution, such as requirements automation, test design automation, etc. People: Specialised strategy to manage business and demand fulfilment

Demand for software testing resources is at an all-time high. However, there is shortage of skilled resources. There has been an incredible surge in demand for software test / quality resources in line with IT advancement. With IT companies willing to hire many more, there is scarcity of resources with the right skills. The demand is more for skilled testers than tenured testers.
