Automation Testing Market by Offering (Testing Types (Static Testing and Dynamic Testing) and Services), Endpoint Interface (Mobile, Web, Desktop, and Embedded Software), Vertical (BFSI, Automotive, IT & ITeS) and Region - Global Forecast to 2028
The automation testing market is estimated at USD 28.1 billion in 2023 tUSD 55.1 billion by 2028, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 14.5%. The surge in cyber threats and the critical importance of safeguarding sensitive data have elevated the role of automated security testing as a significant factor driving the growth of automation testing. Automated security testing tools are pivotal in proactively scanning and identifying vulnerabilities within an application's code, configuration settings, and dependencies. By conducting regular and automated security tests, organizations can establish a robust defense against potential threats, ensuring ongoing protection of their software assets. The dynamic nature of cyber threats requires a continuous and systematic approach tsecurity testing, making automation an indispensable component in the arsenal of tools used tfortify applications against evolving risks. The integration of automated security testing not only enhances the overall security posture of applications and aligns with industry best practices for maintaining a resilient and secure software environment. As a result, the demand for automation testing, particularly in security, is fueled by the imperative tdeliver safe and resilient software solutions in the face of an ever-evolving threat landscape.
“The IT & ITes segment is expected thold the largest market size during the forecast period.” The increasing adoption of serverless computing models in the IT landscape necessitates a robust approach tvalidation, and automation testing emerges as an essential component in ensuring the efficacy of serverless architectures. In this paradigm, where applications are built without traditional server infrastructure management, automation testing plays a pivotal role in validating the seamless execution and optimal performance of functions. Automation tools can simulate the dynamic and event-driven nature of serverless environments, assessing how well functions scale, respond tvarying workloads, and seamlessly integrate with other components. Moreover, automated testing identifies potential issues related tresource allocation, function dependencies, and performance bottlenecks inherent in serverless architectures. By leveraging automation in serverless computing testing, organizations can confidently deploy applications, knowing that the serverless functions operate as intended, scale efficiently, and deliver optimal performance in response tdynamic and unpredictable workloads.
“The non-functional testing segment tregister the fastest growth rate during the forecast period.” In industries characterized by stringent regulatory frameworks, such as finance, healthcare, and government, adherence tcompliance standards is paramount. Non-functional testing assumes a critical role in ensuring that applications within these sectors align with industry-specific regulations, thereby establishing a secure and compliant software environment. In the finance industry, where data integrity and confidentiality are imperative, non-functional testing validates the robustness of security measures tsafeguard financial transactions and sensitive information. Similarly, in healthcare, where patient data privacy is a top priority, non-functional testing ensures that applications meet the stringent requirements of health data protection regulations. For government entities, compliance with regulatory mandates is essential for maintaining public trust and data security. Non-functional testing, encompassing security, reliability, and performance, becomes a cornerstone in verifying that applications meet and exceed the established industry standards. By incorporating rigorous non-functional testing protocols, organizations in these regulated sectors can instill confidence in stakeholders, mitigate risks associated with non-compliance, and ultimately provide a secure and resilient software environment aligned with the specific regulatory demands of their respective industries.
