2018 is fast approaching; businesses are busy anticipating what the new year will bring in terms of industry developments, growing trends, and hidden surprises. Carmen Carey, CEO of software testing and performance monitoring experts Apica<\/a>, gives her five industry predictions for 2018.<\/p>\n 2017 was a busy one in the software testing space. The increased use of automation within testing teams (where agile development boosted the speed of release), has led to QA becoming much more embedded within development teams that would have been the case a few years ago. So as proper software testing and monitoring assume ever greater importance, the natural question is \u2013 what next? Here\u2019s the 2018 I see for our industry:<\/p>\n In 2018, I believe we\u2019ll see organisations really make the breakthrough with machine learning and artificial intelligence, especially when it comes to using this technology to get a better understanding of their collected data.<\/p>\n Often, it\u2019s hard to see the physical manifestation of wider concepts like AI, but in our space physical objects \u2013 \u2018intelligent things\u2019 \u2013 fill that gap. Previously, IoT devices sent data for limited onward processing; now, machine learning means devices are capable of transforming that same data into actionable insight. Real-time feedback will change the behavior of our IoT devices for good.<\/p>\nCompanies will make big AI breakthroughs<\/h2>\n
Monitoring UX will be more important than ever<\/h2>\n
