What is the future of Software Testing?

1. Will depend on programming trends
2. Future of testing in automation: automated unit testing; automated functional testing .Both automated testing, the future will depend on the software trends and how much work it will take to automate. It will also depend on how current manufacturers of automation software get on board the new changes.
3. Software testing will get harder, more expensive and therefore less efficient
4. Software testing will always have a future. As long as developers will write code there will be bugs, and the need for specialists to test them
5. Reduction of QA costs, by increasing the quality of the code and reducing production time. Bugs and humans will be around so testers will be there. Cost will flucuate because there is always new features and new developers.
6. Non-functional testing: performance, application security testing etc. should increase
