Report: Fully automated testing remains elusive for organizations

Despite the growing complexity of the software that drives organizations, few companies have fully automated testing or are using AI, according to new research conducted by Forrester and commissioned by Keysight. 

For the study, Forrester conducted an online survey in December 2021 that involved 406 test operations decision-makers at organizations in North America, EMEA, and APAC to evaluate current testing capabilities for electronic design and development and to hear their thoughts on investing in automation. It found that only 11% of respondents have fully automated testing. Eighty-four percent of respondents said that the majority of testing involves complex environments. 

Most companies reported that they’re moderately or very satisfied with their testing methods and three-fourths of them use a combination of automated and manual testing. However, 45% of companies say that they’re willing to move to a fully automated testing environment within the next 3 years to increase productivity, gain the ability to simulate product function and performance and shorten the time to market. 

Companies are also looking to add AI for integrating complex test suites, an area of test automation that is severely lacking, with only 16% of companies using it today. 

“Despite their reported high satisfaction levels with their testing methods, companies are interested in moving to more automated approaches and using AI for integrating complex test suites. They understand this will increase their productivity, simulate product function or performance, and shorten design cycles, thereby, reducing product time to market,” the research stated. ‘In turn, this improvement in the testing and development process will yield higher customer satisfaction and increase product sales or revenue. They recognize that reducing time to market can be achieved by better analytics on current test and measurement data, integrated software tools across the product development lifecycle, and an improved ability to share data across teams.”

Difference between Web Designer and Web Developer Neeraj Mishra The Crazy Programmer

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles. To put these job possibilities into perspective, consider the construction of a house. To create a vision for the house, including the visual components, the space planning and layout, the materials, and the overall appearance and sense of the space, you need an architect. That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice.

Let’s get going, shall we? What Does a Web Designer Do?

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are declaring 20
