Despite 84% stating that the majority of testing involves complex systems, few employ automated testing or use artificial intelligence.
The research report, titled Conquer Testing Complexities with Automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI), identified that automation is gaining inroads, with 75% of organizations using a combination of automated and manual testing. However, only 11% have a fully automated strategy. With growing complexity, the number of tests is increasing (77%) and without automation, product development slows.
According to
The primary technical challenges resulting from testing complexities are long cycles, accurately capturing bugs and issues, and then fixing them. These problems directly impact business results and the product development process. Respondents ranked the outcomes as:
51% - Security breach risk
48% - Increased expenses
42% - Slower time to market
36% - Defective product
34% - Loss of revenue
However, enterprises recognize that manual and partially automated testing strategies cannot keep pace with the increasing complexity of products. As a result, 45% will consider using a fully automated approach in the next three years, a 409% growth. Over half (52%) stated they would look at AI for integrating complex test suites, a 325% growth.
By shifting to intelligent automated testing strategies, organizations expect benefits. Operational improvements include increased productivity (59%), ability to simulate product function or performance (54%) and bug fix automation or simulation to save time on fix-retest cycles (53%). The anticipated business impact spans higher quality product that increases customer satisfaction (59%), the ability to reduce time to market (50%) and more agile product development cycles (50%).
As described in the survey, the most anticipated technology or operations improvements from automation and AI are increased productivity, ability to simulate product function/performance and bug fix automation/simulation.
But a better metric for success is the business impact that organizations expect from the investment in new testing technologies such as Keysight's Automating Intelligence, which offers customers:
A higher-quality product that increases customer satisfaction
The ability to reduce product time-to-market
More agile product development cycles
