CAT service providers were some of the first to experiment with AI and ML models back in 2019, implementing various testing use cases with key customers. In our last CAT services Forrester Wave™ in 2021, intimacy, collaboration, and AI were top of mind for CAT services clients. But genAI has completely shifted the conversation. Customers have high expectations of genAI’s ability to augment their provider’s testers to be smarter, faster, and more efficient. Customers still expect CAT service providers to demonstrate client intimacy and collaboration. The Forrester Continuous Automation Testing (CAT) services, Q2, 2024 published this week evaluates a comprehensive list of 27-criterion. We identified the most significant players and researched, analyzed, and scored them.
You’ll Need The Best Partner With The Best Testing Services
Whether you are using Agile, DevOps, or TuringBots. to build modern software you’ll probably need some help to realize the benefits of continuous automation testing. But you’ll have to first select from a diverse set of vendors that vary by size, type of offering, geography, and use case focus. In the continuous automation testing services vendor landscape, Q3 2023 we scanned the global market and found 42 players that met our first set of criteria for being a CAT services provider. It was not an easy task to identify which vendors deserved the status of wave participants. We decided to include those with more than 300Mln in revenue, and used a few more inclusion criteria to consolidate the number to 13. You’ll also find smaller players in vendor landscape research that might also deserve your attention.
Some Take Aways For You
- Being by providers used to not only automate the various testing activities, but also to enhance impact of their software IP accelerators and methods for delivering enhanced time to value for enterprise test transformation programs.
- Driving firms to have to demonstrate not only how they will functionally test AI models themselves, but also to test AI-infused Applications (AIIA) as core enterprise software embeds predictive and generative AI capability into common systems and workflows.
- Required to support both firm needs and upcoming AI related regulation in many jurisdictions (most notably EU).
- Forcing Testing providers that they have to be more than a provider of stacks of testing resources to meet demand. Providers have had to make their testing IP more sophisticated in the last 18 months.
