According to an official release, a new “Future of Quality Assurance 2023” study by LambdaTest of 1,615 software testing professionals from 70 different countries has shed new light on software testing practices in 2023, including finding that 78% have already adopted AI.
“The study highlights the need to address bottlenecks affecting productivity like brittle tests alongside the set-up and maintenance of test environments,” Asad Khan, CEO, co-founder, LambdaTest, explained.
LambdaTest’s new research is expected to have shown that companies are working to respond to the need for greater software reliability with 72% of organisations involving testers in “sprint” planning sessions. About 74% of teams lacked a structured prioritisation system, potentially overlooking factors like risk levels and customer feedback when running automated tests. Around 29% lacked Test Intelligence infrastructure to provide insights on how automated tests are running and 12% lacked reporting systems, as per insights from the report.
“The data shows that organisations are attempting to close the gap between the market’s expectations of software reliability and the current state. Software testers and QA staff face great pressure in the software development lifecycle, whilst practices in the industry like engaging them earlier in the process is a step forward, new tools offer a significant opportunity to help close the gap” Junade Ali CEng FIET, CEO, Engprax, a software auditing firm, concluded.
