Exciting QA and Software Testing Trends to Watch
A look at the changes shaping software testing — from the end of an era for legacy browsers to what end-of-life milestones mean for the tools and ALM solutions QA teams depend on.
The testing landscape is shifting
Browser and platform end-of-life events, cloud-native delivery, and tighter release cadences continue to reshape how organizations plan coverage, maintain automation, and staff QA capabilities.
Teams that treat these shifts as purely technical upgrades often underestimate the process and tooling ripple effects — especially across integrated ALM, test management, and CI/CD pipelines.
Trends covered in this paper
- Legacy browser retirement and the impact on manual and automated test suites.
- Modernizing test management and ALM integrations without disrupting active releases.
- Balancing speed with risk-based coverage as delivery frequency increases.
- Practical steps to audit your toolchain before a forced migration deadline.
