There is a significant increase in tech requirements for new job postings.

Automation became almost mandatory skill, and most companies also want performance and security testing which used to be a niche thing not so long ago.

It takes a lot of time and effort to gain experience in all of these skills, and security testing is a vast field on it’s own.

Frankly speaking, I don’t see anything new in QA/testing trends :slight_smile: yeah, some companies push certain narratives along with some “experts” and experts, but I can’t say that most of these “trends” are actually trends or something new. Of course, there is AI everywhere and some general things that are popular (or happening) in the IT/tech industry, like automation (or unstable markets). There are some talks about different stuff, such as “the end of the manual testing era” or quality engineering, or the idea that companies don’t need QA engineers and testers - but in my opinion, these are just talks, not trends. I would say that the main trend is talking about QA transformations and new trends :sweat_smile: but there actually isn’t much new stuff in QA. Even reading people’s answers here, I can see that many believe we have the same “trends” that existed 10 or more years ago :slight_smile:
