The annual survey of more than 1,000 application testing professionals finds that 80% of all application testing within organizations is being done by test engineers, test leads, testers and automation testers.

PractiTest CEO Yaniv Iny said that level of DevOps inclusion suggests that, rather than shifting testing completely left on to the shoulders of application developers, a more nuanced approach to application testing is taking hold as professional testers learn to work within the sprints that make up a DevOps workflow. A full 90% of respondents said testing has become more automated within their quality assurance (QA) processes.

A full 97% of respondents said that functional testing automation was either important or very important for them to succeed, while 96% said test automation patterns, principles and practices are also critical.
