Dr. Bernd Flessner invites the readers to take a look into the future. On circa 40 pages, scenarios for the time periods “from 2020”, “from 2035” and “from 2050” describe possible developments of the testing sector – each examing both a positive and a negative viewpoint. The study features forecasts on much-discussed technological developments, including industry 4.0, Outernet and smart home. It explains, how they could directly affect the testing sector – and it derives, what this means for the software tester profession.
“The Future of Testing” features besides the scenarios also the results of an exclusive Delphi survey. Each five well-known international experts of the IT and the testing industry were asked to assess the effects of specific trends on the software testing industry in the near future.
Dr. Bernd Flessner draws in “The Future of Testing” on the theses from his keynote “Wir Prothesengötter” at the Software-QS-Tag 2013 and the panel discussion at the Software-QS-Tag 2014.
The study was published in English and German. Both versions can be downloaded in PDF format free of cost in the imbus Download area.
