As software becomes the central differentiating factor in customer engagement, an effective, well-aligned software factory is an increasingly crucial business imperative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Forrester said to the <em>SD Times the<\/em> software industry should be prepared for the following changes in 2018:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Devtest bots will be used to automate delivery:\u00a0<\/strong>While automation is not a new concept, Forrester believes machine learning and artificial intelligence will continue to replace manual and repetitive tasks through bots.<\/li>\n<li><strong>DevOps tools will proliferate and consolidate:<\/strong>\u00a0In 2018, DevOps teams will look to use a single vendor for their CI\/CD solutions rather than using a custom built development toolchain approach.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Agile will continue to scale:<\/strong>\u00a0Agile will slowly, but steadily continue to scale. According to Forrester, enterprise agile adoption grew to 59% in 2017, compared to its 23% in 2015.<\/li>\n<li><strong>DevOps will drive the use of APIs and microservices:<\/strong>\u00a0The need for digital transformation will force businesses to invest in APIs and microservices as well as build their development lifecycle around automation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>New software jobs will emerge:<\/strong>\u00a0Project managers, manual testers, database administrators and basic developers will transform into product manager, scrum master, test engineer, data scientist, low-code developer and business expert roles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serverless programming patterns will take over: <\/strong>Serverless architectures will take over containers and virtual machines in order for developers to separate business logic from infrastructure code, and build more modern applications.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Low-code features will continue to advance:<\/strong>\u00a0New low-code features will emerge to address \u201cspecial requirements of digital process automation, dynamic case management, content management, eCommerce, business intelligence, and analytics.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>There will be an increased interest in AR development: <\/strong>New software development kits like Apple\u2019s ARKit and Google\u2019s ARCore are removing the barriers to augmented reality development.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Conversational computing will be more common:<\/strong>\u00a0As voice recognition, natural language processing, natural language classification, and natural language generation continue to advance, conversational computing will become more popular next year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Forrester added to the <em>SD Times:<\/em> \u201cFor AD&amp;D leaders, 2018 will be a year of parallel initiatives. First, they will continue on their journey toward modern software development practices and architectures \u2014 agile, DevOps, microservices, and automation \u2014 that underpin continuous delivery. At the same time, they will take on new opportunities that new technologies and platforms \u2014 especially AI and low-code \u2014 will present.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Written by Leah
