10 Trends in DevOps, Automated Testing and More for 2023
Blog post from Sauce Labs
The future of DevOps, automated testing, and UX trends in 2023 is expected to be shaped by the growing importance of mobile app development and testing, API testing, security, developer experience, hybrid work arrangements, customer experience, brand equity, accessibility, and observability. As companies adopt modern alternatives to "DIY" real device testing, they will prioritize shifting testing left and right to find and fix issues earlier. With the rise of serverless architecture, AI, and machine learning, API testing will become more critical than ever. DevOps is now including security, also known as DevSecOps, with companies recognizing the need for security testing in parallel with application development. The developer experience will become a top priority to retain talent, and hybrid work arrangements will win, with companies encouraging collaboration both in person and remotely. The customer experience will affect everyday lives and brands' bottom lines, and companies will start thinking of it as synonymous with brand equity. Accessibility will become a hot button issue, and testing and observability will converge in an effort to understand real-world behavior and perfect the customer experience.
