What Are The Essential Drivers Behind The Growth Of The Software Testing Market?
The persistent uptake of cloud computing is predicted to fuel the expansion of the software testing market. Cloud computing is being increasingly adopted due to its affordability, scalability, accessibility, potential for innovation, dependability, security, and eco-friendliness. The use of software testing within cloud computing guarantees that applications uphold quality standards, function dependably, and provide a smooth user interface in fluctuating and scattered cloud settings. For instance, as per the State of DevOps Study by the US-based cloud service, Google Cloud Platform's DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) team, in January 2023, there was a rise in the population using multiple public clouds from 21% in 2021 to 26% in 2022. The use of hybrid cloud also saw an increase from 25% to 42.5%. An increase to 76% of users reported using the public cloud, which involves multiple clouds, a significant rise from 56% in 2021. Hence, the steady uptake of cloud computing serves as a driving force for the progression of the software testing market.
