Cloud Testing Market Analysis
The cloud testing market is expected to register a CAGR of over 13% over the forecast period (2021 - 2026). The demand for cloud testing is increasing owing to the capabilities of cloud sourcing technology in software testing activities to perform quality assurance (QA) and to remove bugs.
- The cloud testing market is witnessing positive growth due to DevOps and the cloud's advent and rapid adoption and other efficient and automated services. The DevOps and cloud environments can enable highly scalable, diverse, and complex testing and configuration environments, enabling the vendors to push code through all kinds of tests with good efficiency without having to worry about the server configurations, deployment issues, or bottlenecks, helping the organization to focus on innovation and product improvement.
- The rapid adoption of machine learning (ML) in various sectors is also fueling the demand for these testing solutions. ML is being used in the banking sector to model real-time transactions, and ML, along with AI technology, can help predict fraudulent transactions. Organizations that are ready to dive into this digital domain will experiment with high impacting scenarios developed by ML in the coming years. Testing solution providers should be able to understand the evolving trends in the testing domain and to stay competitive in the market, and they may constantly need to develop scenarios for testing that can validate all the possible outcomes.
- Moreover, many large enterprises had quickly adopted the cloud to streamline operations, save money, and make them more competitive As a result, cloud testing has become necessary to validate the functional system and business requirements. In addition to the cloud experience, cloud testing engineers require the knowledge of different types of testing and tools.
- With the rising spread of COVID-19 across the globe, the businesses suffered significantly. Some players operating in the market are coming out with a couple of initiatives to fight with the situation, which positively impacts the market.In June 2020, in France, the first Bluetooth-based European application called 'StopCovid' was launched and was downloaded more than 600 000 times on that day both from Apple Store and Google Play (Android), according to the French government. These application launches will further boost the cloud testing market significantly.
Cloud Testing Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Cloud Testing Market according to our research experts:
Websites and Applications Load Testing Boosting IT and Telecom End-user Industry
- With the help of cloud testing, IT & telecom organizations can gain quick feedback on the mainframe, and supercharge innovation without having the risk of bottlenecks that disrupt operations, hinder customer experiences or impact enterprise’s revenues. The enterprises can improve quality, velocity, and efficiency on the mainframe while lowering the problems of the shortage of experienced developers.
- At the end of 2018, Microsoft stated that Visual Studio 2019 is the last version with load testing features. A few months later they formally announced that Azure load testing is closing down on March 31st, 2020. Following the announcement, a large number of users, who were doing performance testing with Visual Studio or Azure DevOps, have been asking questions about many company’s load testing platform. K6.io has launched k6 OSS and k6 Cloud as a solution of the problem. The user can install k6 and start running performance tests in their machine for free. By default, k6 prints the result of the test to the console. The company also provide k6 Cloud load testing service as a complement to the open-source k6 tool, which will further improving their experience.
- In October 2020, AWS has introduced distributed load testing v1.1. The Distributed Load Testing on AWS helps the user easily simulate thousands of users connecting to their application so that users can better understand the application performance under load. The solution launches and configures containers on AWS Fargate to generate a specified number of transactions per second without having to provision servers.
- For the past two years, telecom companies have been onboarding network service providers to ensure the robust delivery of services. For instance, in March 2020, Ericsson was chosen by NTT DOCOMO as the AI-powered optimization solution supplier for its radio access network (RAN). Ericsson’s solution maximizes end-user experience in service provider’s networks while minimizing their total cost of ownership. The increasing adoption of such AI-enabled solutions for the development of the systems and networks boosts the growth of performance and load testing solutions in the telecom sector.
North America is Expected to Hold a Major Share
- North America is expected to hold the major share of cloud testing market owing to high adoption of cloud technology by end-user industries such as BFSI, healthcare, and retail and e-commerce among others in the region. For instance, the emergence of omnichannel banking services and the widespread digitalization across the banking sector are boosting the adoption of cloud testing services in the BFSI sector in the region.
- The region is the most mature market in terms of cloud computing services adoption, due to factors such as the presence of many enterprises with advanced IT infrastructure, and availability of technical expertise.
- Moreover, the region has a strong foothold of cloud testing vendors which contributes to the growth of the market. Some of them include IBM Corporation, Oracle Corporation, SOASTA Inc. (Akamai Technologies Inc.), and Microsoft Corporation among others. The growing collaborative efforts between companies to develop new and innovative solutions will augment the market's growth.
- The cloud-based applications are broadly witnessing demand from the QA and test teams in the region. The strong financial caliber has led to the flow of investments into enhanced testing tools and technologies.
- Furthermore, the advent of BYOD policies is also boosting the use of cloud testing solutions among enterprises. For instance, A survey by Cisco reported that 69% of the IT decision makers favor BYOD as an optimistic addition to workplace policy as it saves workers time. In the United States IT sector, it was estimated that in the past three years, BYOD adoption witnessed an increase of 44.42%.
Cloud Testing Industry Overview
The cloud testing market is neither consolidated nor fragmented as many large companies and startups have made a well-established presence in the market. However, large companies such as Microsoft Corporation, Akamai Technologies Inc. and Broadcom Inc. acquired small scale vendors such as Xamarin Inc., SOASTA Inc., and BlazeMeter LLC respectively. This is expected to create tough competition between them over the forecast period. Vendors are adopting strategies such as new product launches, and partnerships, to improve their position in the market. The vendors are also acquiring other start-ups working in cloud testing solutions to expand their product offering.
- April 2019- Trustwave launched a new database security scanning and testing software that may help organizations to better protect their critical data assets hosted on-site or by major cloud service providers from advanced threats, configuration errors, unauthorized privilege escalation, access control issues, and missing patches, among others.
- March 2020 - Neotys prepared to maintain its business operations, including the cloud, on-premise, and SaaS platform, at the highest levels to help the users test their applications and APIs in these new times. To help those who require the most additional load and performance testing capacity, the company is offering 60-day free NeoLoad licenses for government, non-government organizations (NGOs), not-for-profits, and organizations related to education or health care, for their projects that support society during this crisis.
