Insights
The World Quality Report 2024 reveals a significant shift in Quality Engineering (QE), with 68% of organizations now using or planning to use Generative AI. This adoption is primarily driven by its impact on test automation, with 72% reporting faster automation processes. The integration of Gen AI in QE is reshaping software development practices and necessitating a redefinition of quality engineering strategies.
However, challenges persist. 57% of respondents cite a lack of comprehensive test automation strategies, while 64% struggle with legacy system dependencies. These issues hinder the advancement of automation efforts. Additionally, there's a concerning lag in sustainability practices, with only 25% of organizations measuring the environmental impact of their IT development.
The report underscores the need for continuous upskilling, especially in Gen AI, Agile integration and cross-functional collaboration. While 82% of organizations have dedicated learning pathways, only half track their effectiveness, indicating a potential gap in skill development strategies.
The World Quality Report 2024 highlights a transformative trend in the software development industry, with Generative AI at the forefront. This shift has significant implications for companies like OpenText (OTEX) and their competitors in the enterprise information management space.
The widespread adoption of Gen AI in Quality Engineering (68% of organizations) suggests a growing market for AI-enhanced software development tools. For OpenText, this presents both an opportunity and a challenge. The company's ability to integrate Gen AI into its existing product suite and develop new AI-driven solutions could be important for maintaining market position and driving growth.
However, the report also reveals areas of concern. The lag in sustainability practices (only 25% measuring environmental impact) and challenges with legacy systems (64% of respondents) indicate potential areas for product development and service offerings. OpenText could leverage these gaps to differentiate its offerings and capture market share in the evolving enterprise software landscape.
Developer productivity and quality engineering has passed the tipping point of adopting generative AI to drive business success, says the 16th edition of the report
The World Quality Report 2024 surveyed organizations across various industries to capture the current trends in software engineering and developer best practices. Quality Engineering that was once defined as testing human-written software has now evolved with AI generated code. From the volume of code and test scripts that need to be generated, to how software chains have to be tested end-to-end, the need for redefinition of Quality Engineering is reshaping the focus and strategy of many testing and software engineering teams. The report emphasizes the increasing adoption of Gen AI and its impact on test automation, alongside the critical need for organizations to better align QE metrics with business outcomes to showcase its strategic value.
Key Findings from the Report Include:
- Gen AI Dominates Quality Engineering Trends:
The report shows68% of organizations are either actively utilizing Gen AI (34% ) or have developed roadmaps following successful pilot implementations (34% ). Test automation is the leading area where Gen AI is making an impact, with72% of respondents reporting faster automation processes as a result of Gen AI integration. - Upskilling Remains Crucial:
While82% of organizations report having dedicated learning pathways for their QE teams, only50% actively track the effectiveness of these programs. The report stresses the importance of continuous learning, especially in skills such as Gen AI, Agile integration and cross-functional collaboration. - Automation and Legacy System Challenges Persist:
The report also uncovers the challenges many organizations face in automating their testing environments. A lack of comprehensive test automation strategies and reliance on legacy systems were identified by57% and64% of respondents, respectively, as key barriers to advancing automation efforts. - Sustainability and Green IT Priorities Lag Behind:
Despite widespread recognition of sustainability as a top priority, the report finds that only25% of organizations are measuring the environmental impact of their overall IT development, while44% are tracking the impact of testing activities. Furthermore, only34% of respondents are implementing efficient Quality Engineering practices to drive sustainability. The report calls for organizations to adopt comprehensive Green IT strategies and improve environmental impact measurement across the entire software development lifecycle.
"The insights from this year's World Quality Report emphasize the growing role of AI and emerging technology methodologies in Quality Engineering, but they also reveal a clear need for organizations to recognize and communicate QE's strategic value," said Muhi Majzoub, EVP and Chief Product Officer at OpenText. "As technology evolves, OpenText is dedicated to helping organizations integrate advanced software lifecycle management solutions with Gen AI while ensuring that Quality Engineering remains at the forefront of driving business success."
"Gen AI tools and solutions are clearly gaining adoption by quality engineers to assist them in their function and focus on higher-value-added tasks," said Mark Buenen, Global Leader, Quality Engineering and Testing at Sogeti. "This year's World Quality Report shows a striking shift with a large majority of respondents who are either actively using Gen AI in their QE processes or crafting implementation roadmaps. Beyond its proven impact on coding efficiency and quality, Gen AI has the potential to further accelerate the transformation of quality engineering and create new value for both clients and end users."
