What is it about? What is the Future of Testing Study?

The speed at which technologies are developing and changing the world is increasing rapidly. Whether bioprinting, cobots or polytronics: what was only considered a possibility a few years ago has already reached market maturity today.
In over 70 pages, Dr. Bernd Flessner takes a look into the future with readers. Scenarios for the periods "From 2025", "From 2035" and "From 2050" describe possible developments in the testing industry, each with a positive and negative bias. The study provides orientation knowledge on much-discussed technological developments, such as Industry 4.0, Outernet or Smart Home. It discusses how these could affect the testing industry and the profession of software tester.
The study has been published in German and English. You can download both versions free of charge in the download area.
Growing risks require better testing
The IT industry is developing rapidly – and so is the testing sector. What do we need to prepare ourselves for in the years ahead? imbus has asked the futurologist and author Dr. Bernd Flessner to cast light on the future of software testing.
The result: the imbus trend study “The Future of Testing” now in 3rd updated edition.

The study provides answers to the question: what does the future of testing look like and why?
