The transformation from “testing” to “Quality Assurance (QA)” and then to “Quality Engineering (QE)” has been quite impressive, and it likely has a few more surprises in stock. In our previous article of the "Top 5 software testing trends of 2024", we highlighted the overall “quality at speed” theme and several key trends such as DevOps and Automation. But what exactly do those trends mean for you as the buyer and user of QE tools?

In the past, testing for non-functional requirements (NFR) was often neglected, done to the extent possible at the end of the life cycle. For modern development teams, that is no longer an option - to deliver high-quality applications, they have to implement a comprehensive testing strategy with proper allocation of resources to both functional and non-functional components.

Exploratory testing marks the connection where creativity meets discovery. This method isn’t just about ticking off a list; it's about venturing into the unknown, armed with curiosity and a keen eye for detail. It's a journey that's best embarked upon as a team, where each member's unique perspective and expertise illuminate different facets of the software, uncovering insights that might otherwise remain hidden.

In software testing, exploratory testing stands out as an immersive approach where testers delve into applications, evaluating performance through various actions. As quality assurance professionals, the goal is to adopt a user's perspective, navigating the application just as an actual user would. This hands-on methodology is instrumental in uncovering and reporting bugs that could compromise the application's functionality, playing a vital role in enhancing user experience.

With 2023 behind us, it's time to predict new trends for the upcoming year. In 2024, we can expect to see an increase in fast and gradual releases powered by an Agile and DevOps approach, as well as a stronger reliance on automation, AI, and machine learning. An overarching theme this year is the focus on 'quality of speed', as developers look for new ways to test software quickly without compromising on quality.

Exploratory testing, the backbone of agile development, allows for both a confirmation of what we’ve built being good enough and for a critique of what we’re building. But good exploration takes time, possibly more time than a single tester has within the team. So what can we do? We can ask our colleagues to support us and run some exploratory testing with us.

Exploratory testing involves testing system behavior under various scenarios, with a predefined goal but no predefined tests. This focus on discovering the unknown makes exploratory testing both powerful and challenging. “Exploratory testing is a systematic approach for discovering risks using rigorous analysis techniques coupled with testing heuristics.” Elisabeth Hendrickson.

Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) in software testing is a major advancement in software development, enhancing efficiency and accuracy while handling complex scenarios. This technological leap introduces significant ethical challenges, such as concerns over data misuse and the need for algorithmic transparency. Understanding and addressing these issues is crucial for fostering responsible innovation in AI.
