5 Test Automation Trends in 2024 That You Should Actually Question! ⤵️
1. Gen AI in Test Automation! 🤖
The promise is that it will generate all the test cases because it understands the underlying application.
That is not the case. It’s too general, and the output is not beneficial.
2. AI in General in the Testing Automation Tool! 💡
The vendors are forced to add Artificial Intelligence because of their marketing teams.
It might actually lead to superficial additions that don’t offer any significant value in improving your test automation process.
3. Autonomous Software Testing! 🚀
That is the buzzword in 2024.
It’s an overstated promise like all the time in test automation. Most of the added autonomous testing features in 2024 will be web crawlers taking screenshots of all the links and then going through all the links autonomously to compare the screenshots with the application. If the application differs from the screenshot, the application behaves differently.
That’s not autonomous testing. There is no interaction with the system itself.
4. Big Players Acquire Even More Tools 🛍️
You will see big players still playing the catch-up game.
They will buy smaller players to get their technology and integrate them into their massive products. This leads to a complex landscape of tools with overlapping features, creating confusion and making it challenging to choose the right tools for specific testing needs.
