By the year 2009, it's time to write something for software testing. Follow the public opinion, forecast the 2009 domestic software testing ten hot spots.
- Cloud based testing will be a new subject, including test methods, techniques, and tools. Also, testing in the cloud environment is a way to reduce the cost of testing.
- the software testing technology based on Web 2.0/ajax is still hot. Java/javascript technology changes rapidly, and the system development framework is endless.
- Software Test Automation is also a hot spot, including more open source testing tools, automated test models and frameworks, and automated testing of theoretical research.
- Mobile Testing: mobile Computing, mobile applications, including 3G applications, mobile testing (including wireless application system testing) will receive more attention, is a new growth point of the test.
- With the increasing popularity of virtual technologies such as Citrix, Microsoft and VMware, more and more Test teams will apply virtual technology to create, maintain and optimize the test environment, even test execution.
- Security Test : The software system security situation is more serious, the safety test will put forward higher requirements, software tool manufacturers to launch more security testing tools.
- Software Outsourcing testing: China's software outsourcing ushered in the development opportunities and challenges, large-scale software outsourcing enterprises to develop faster, small software outsourcing enterprises more difficult to increase the possibility of mergers, software testing in the outsourcing enterprises to better development.
- Test Training: Software Testing Training competition will be more intense, regardless of propaganda or market competition, will enter the white-hot point. ISTQB will become a new star in the 2009 domestic training market.
- Courses and books: There are more and more universities offering "software testing" courses for graduate students and undergraduates. Software Test Books in 2008 very hot, in 2009 heat, may still not be reduced.
- testing conferences and salons: National or international software testing conferences will become one of the new hotspots, with more and more software testing salons.
