Market Trends of Crowdsourced Testing Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Crowdsourced Testing Market according to our research experts:
Large Enterprises to Constitute a Significant Market Size
- Large enterprises are expected to hold a more extensive market size during the forecast period, as it helps them in attaining high-level of quality assurance, fasten development and release process, and streamline bug handling, which is critical to their development teams and helps in enhancing the overall organization's quality and agility.
- Open strategies for innovation have long been the standard for some large businesses. For instance, P&G's 'Connect + Develop' enabled the company to establish more than 2,000 successful agreements with innovation partners worldwide.
- Further, IBM started an internal innovation experiment that evolved into its 'InnovationJam' platform, which it uses to work with clients, helping participants to 'jam' by contributing their expertise and opinions on various topics. Thomson Reuters uses crowdsourcing internally to tap into the skills of its 17,000 technologists, finding new problem solvers and breaking down department silos.
- Further, in August 2022, Sofy, a Seattle startup that delivers a no-code platform for developers and quality assurance professionals to test their mobile apps, raised USD 7.75 million in new funding. The funds would be used to develop the platform's capabilities to serve web and API functions and test mobile apps. Such advancements in QA and testing will fuel market growth even further.
- Moreover, RWS claimed that the number of connections between devices, apps, people, and their homes is increasing at an alarming rate. There were 14.2 billion connected devices in 2019, which was expected to exceed 25 billion. This necessitates significant leaps in testing and development and the introduction of new software testing methodologies.
North America to hold Significant Market Share
- America is expected to hold a significant share during the forecast period, owing to the quick adoption of advanced technologies, such as the cloud, helping crowdsourced testing service providers implement efficient solutions. The market in North America is growing due to the presence of vendors, particularly in Canada.
- North America is a technology hub. Therefore, the federal government has strict rules regarding security crowdsource testing services. Furthermore, it is compulsory for industries, such as BFSI, to adhere to compliance testing.
- With a presence in the US, companies like QAwerk focus on testing games, mobile and desktop applications, and websites. About 60% of the company's projects fall under the long-term collaboration. The industries that QAwerk works with are e-government, e-commerce, startups, business automation, media and entertainment, and data mining.
- Furthermore, a ministry of the Canadian government contacted QA Consultants to attempt test automation that had previously failed. The manual test effort involved regression test execution that was no longer viable. QA Consultants' skilled test automation experts developed both an automation framework and scripts for use in their regular regression testing.
- Moreover, the presence of developed economies, such as the United States and Canada, which are rapidly implementing the latest technologies due to increased internet penetration and improving customer demand, is also considered to be a key factor for the growth of the crowdsourced testing market in the region.
