2020 and Top Codeless Testing Tools You’d Better Know

This article was originally published in May 2020.

Coding may take years to practice to master. Having testers program a bunch of codes, fix errors in applications, and finish backlogs in weeks are challenging, time-consuming, and cost rising. The World Quality Report 2019–2020 has pointed out that lacking advanced programming expertise is one of the top challenges when applying test automation to Agile projects. We could say, the development of codeless automation testing tools is an emerging solution to the challenge.

Codeless Test Automation: The Biggest Software Testing Trend of 2021

Codeless test automation is arising as a promising solution for non-programmers during the software development cycle. Organizations are attempting to solve fast-tracking software delivery and the technical effort it takes to test. That's where software testing is switching from manual testing to codeless automation testing tools to validate applications.

Besides CI/CD integrations and multiple types of testing coverage, codeless test automation also solves the issue of coding skills resulting in more and faster releases. Thus, simplifying the testing processes for QA teams no matter how sophisticated the software is. 

Top 12 Trends Shaping Mobile Application Development in 2020

With a whopping 3.5 billion smartphone users across the world, mobile apps undoubtedly enjoy a huge user base.

Kodak, Compaq, Blockbuster Video — what do these have in common? Despite being widely popular in the past, they failed to keep up with technology and, therefore, ended up closing or selling out. All this at a time when technology was not changing as fast as it is today. Technology truly is in a constant state of flux. When businesses fail to keep up, they usually tend to go the Blockbuster way. 

Top Automation Testing Trends To Look Out In 2020

Quality Assurance (QA) is at the point of inflection and it is an exciting time to be in the field of QA as advanced digital technologies are influencing QA practices. According to a press release by Gartner, The encouraging part is that IT and automation will play a major role in the transformation as the IT industry will spend close to $3.87 trillion in 2020, up from $3.76 trillion in 2019.

Test automation is always at the forefront when it comes to software testing and is evolving rapidly. Every year we are being introduced to new test automation frameworks, test runners, libraries, methodologies, and more! In this article, we will look at the top automation testing trends for 2020.

Making Enterprise Developers Lives Easier With Cloud Tools: An Interview With Andi Grabner

If you are an enterprise developer reading this you might be saying, "Help! How do I get back to coding?" So many developers I've talked to of late have lamented that their jobs have increasingly taken the actual time they spend coding down to 70% or 30% of the time.

Luckily, we are in the automation era where experts like Dynatrace DevOps Activist Andi Grabner exist. I recently had the chance to chat with Andi at Dynatrace Perform on how we can make enterprise developer's lives easier with cloud tools.

Four DevOps Trends for 2020

Last year, I put together a few thoughts on what I saw as the emerging DevOps trends for 2019. As we enter a new year and decade, I thought it might be useful to do the same for 2020. A common theme in this year’s trends concerns the way in which firms are dealing with delivering services at scale in the cloud, which I think could be a grand trend for the decade – one I wanted to highlight from the offset – but for now, here are four trends for the year ahead.  

1. Site Reliability Engineering

As more and more companies leverage the cloud to host their services, how do they manage large user bases around the globe without a large 24x7 Operations team? Embracing failure and observing standard setters such as Google, Netflix, and Spotify, firms are looking to site reliability engineering (SRE) for the answers.
