Analyst Quote
IDC has seen a dramatic increase in engagement with continuous testing across DevOps and DevSecOps areas, and also the targeting of multimodal deployment across complex platforms and emerging technologies, and leverage of ML, AI for advanced analytics, and emerging use of RPA to automate error-prone, tedious manual processes. With teams dispersed as a result of hybrid work, intensification of compliance demands globally, and significantly compressed cycle times with increased daily and weekly deployments, continuous integration, and agile DevOps approaches, the demand for effective quality automation and processes has increased geometrically.
