The next biggest pain that the survey indicated was the long time it takes to write UI functional tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trends_Impacting_Test_Automation_in_2020\"><\/span>Trends Impacting Test Automation in 2020<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The top trends that respsondents indicated around test automation today were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>CI\/CD &#8211; 55.6%<\/li><li>AI-assisted Testing &#8211; 46%<\/li><li>Continuous Testing &#8211; 38.1%<\/li><li>Shifting Left &#8211; 33.3%<\/li><li>Agile Testing &#8211; 55.4%<\/li><li>Testing in production &#8211; 25.4%<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As Federico commented, these answers are consistent with our own experiences, as the shift-left testing approach becomes more popular, we see more engagement from different team members, taking part in automation, whether its unit testing or API testing. So these methodologies that are gaining more traction impact the way we automate and of course, this relates to CI\/CD because we&#8217;re able to benefit more from automation since we&#8217;re using it in different stages before each release. If we&#8217;re continuously testing, then we should be shifting left and right at the same time, so these trends are fairly related to one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;If we are focused on continuously testing, we should be doing this in an agile way.
