IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Enterprise Automated Software Quality and Continuous Testing for Digital Execution 2022 Vendor Assessment

This IDC study uses the IDC MarketScape model to provide an assessment for enterprise automated software quality (ASQ) as one of four assessment views across key areas of the market — enterprise ASQ/continuous testing; application security testing, code analytics, and software composition analysis; mobile testing and digital quality; and cloud testing. Organizations seeking product automation capabilities, processes, and services for ASQ come to their decision making with varying levels of maturity, differing pain points, and challenges. This is even more the case with the dramatic shift over the past few years to digital innovation and hybrid work in a global economy that remains volatile in the wake of the pandemic, geopolitical and environmental disruptions, and the imperative for trust, corporate responsibility, and diversity. IDC research shows increased engagement by a majority of DevOps teams with advanced approaches to quality and testing, as companies continue to struggle with constrained and complex sourcing, limited QA resources, and varying levels of flexibility to meet business and competitive pressures.
