Software testing techniques and procedures have changed a lot during the decade. Quiet inspired by the manufacturing process, software testing took the waterfall approach to test the quality which involved sequential check and case tests mainly when the products are at user acceptance phase. Now that the software projects are getting complex, frequently changing requirements, quick release of software have led to the increased use of iterative or incremental SDLC models like agile scrum, RUP etc. There are cross functional roles, rapid reorganisation and release of software in modules.
There are many changes in software testing in past few years, which looks forward for future changes as well. The latest trends of software testing are:
1. Shift from QA to Quality Engineering
The world is transforming quickly and adapting new technologies. Quality Assurance follows a systematic waterfall approach for testing which is a step by step process making it thorough but lengthy at one time. QA is struggling to keep up with the changing dynamics in the testing field. QA sometimes performs the mistakes to complete the flow of processes. The previous process needs to be completely done for the next to begin and beings a manual tester one only look after this in detail. But with QA the amount of data and processes can easily pile up. Thats why we adopt the iterative and incremental techniques of software development.
2. IOT
IOT means Internet of Things which is a growing fastest technology in today’s world and IoT is challenge for Test Automation. A complete web of things is inter-connected with one another through the web. The hardware is manipulated by the dedicated software which connects them to the internet and from there it connects them to the other things. A great as it may sound there are number of vulnerabilities in the system.The products which are the connected should be tested for functionality,quality and most significant security.
3. Digital Transformation with Agile-
Agile methodology is in use since past 17 years. This methodology supports and promotes working with varied small teams in collaboration. While doing these tasks and taking a smaller amount of processes and make a quick and continuous delivery. Modern practices based on the agile manifesto can be really helpful with user experience work like planning, execution and evaluation.
4. DevOps
DevOps is a word for particular set of rules or principles to reduce the amount of time from development to operations. Devops is not particularly a new concept in business, it is emergence in the technical field. It has gained a large amount of support from the business organisation.
5. Time for big data testing
We are surviving in a golden age of technology where the clients and users on various platforms upload terabytes of data and managing that much amount of data, it needs a singular approach for testing. Big data testing is a procedure which helps business to test such large amounts of data. The main aim to test the data for the quality to start with. Big data is really a tremendous amount of datasets which can’t be processed by traditional computing techniques.
6. Bigger market share for mobile users and Test Automation
Mobile is now one of the most important parts of an individual’s life. Now a days there is an app for every activity. The number of devices, OS platforms and software run on a single app. The types of devices and software updates coming every day make it even harder to keep pace with it. Hence cost and market readiness are really important in future.

In the 21st century, software is hard day by day. this century software is used in everything like Gmail, online shopping, etc.
1. shift from QA to Quality Engineering: this is very important to test the software. QA tests the software and allows
to use of software in public.
2. IOT: this is the fastest technology in this world. the IoT things connected to each other in the software.
3. digital transformation with agile: this is the fastest and quick to do work/delivery.
4. DevOps: this is not a new word in business. this is a set of rules in business.
5. Time for Big Data Testing: this is used in big amount data testing, not in the small database.
6. Bigger market share for mobile users and test automation: mobile use in this century is the most important part of our life. so, we are ready to be becoming technology in our future.
In today’s world software technology is most important for progress like SDLC models like agile scrum , RUP etc
1.shift from QA to QuAulity Engineering: quality assurance pay a role testers step by step .QA is struggling for software development.
2 IOt in today’s world mostly things are used by internet for easy way for progress
3.digital transformation with agile:this is fastest and quick to do work/ delivery
4:Devops:this is a word for business
5:Time for Big data testing:it is a big data used in big business not used in mbile apps
6:Bigger market share for mbile users and test automation: mbile is used most important for our life new technology new information new software updates etc
Due to the changing techniques and procedures of software testing in current times and the complex software projects, frequent requirement changes, quick release of the software most of the testing is done using the incremental or iterative SDLC models like agile scrum ,RUP etc. instead of following the sequential model which is a step by step process .
Below are few latest trends of testing :
1. Shift from QA to Quality Engineering – with the increase of complex software projects, the iterative technique has become a need as the waterfall method becomes lengthy because of its step be step process.
2. IOT -its a completely internet thing that is inter-connected with one another through the web. The key consideration is functionality,quality and security of the product tested.
3. Digital Transformation with Agile – In this methodology,testing is not a separate phase but part of the development phase along with coding ,i.e continuous.
4. DevOps – This methodology is used to save time that combines development and operations.
5. Big Data – The ability to test the large data set with a consistent approach.
6. Mobile user and test automation – There should be preparation for mobile user due to the increase of usage of mobiles in today’s times.
The importance of software testing and quality assurance is of high value in a software development cycle. Both of the processes refines the whole process and ensure superior quality to the product. Also, it reduces maintenance costs and provides better usability and enhanced functionality. When software testing signs and push the individual components, quality assurance attests to the product- Fit for the purpose.
SHIFT FROM QA TO QE:
Quality Assurance “assures” quality of the product, but quality engineering drives development of quality product and the processes.
IOT:
The term IoT, or Internet of Things, refers to the collective network of connected devices and the technology that facilitates communication between devices and the cloud, as well as between the devices themselves.
AGILE METHODOLOGY:
Agile methodology is a type of project management process, mainly used for software development, where demands and solutions evolve through the collaborative effort of self-organizing and cross-functional teams and their customers.
DEVOPS:
DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development and IT operations. It aims to shorten the systems development life cycle and provide continuous delivery with high software quality.
BIG DATA TESTING:
Big Data Testing is a testing process of a big data application in order to ensure that all the functionalities of a big data application works as expected. The goal of big data testing is to make sure that the big data system runs smoothly and error-free while maintaining the performance and security.
