4、on and to distributed,hybrid work over the past two years and will continue to do so moving into 2H22 and beyond.IDC research indicates that the top 3 drivers for cloud adoption include improving productivity,increasing the pace of innovation,and enabling greater use of automation(see IDCs August 20

5、21 Future Enterprise Resiliency and Spending Survey,Wave 7,n=920 for worldwide).Demand for solutions to test applications on the cloud and for the cloud is growing significantly as high-quality,well-performing software increasingly deployed in the cloud drives business innovation and competitive pos

6、itioning(see Market Analysis Perspective:Worldwide Platform as a Service,2021,IDC#US48223121,September 2021).Companies investing in software in an unpredictable,volatile world economy with limited resources and complex software release challenges are benefitting from and committing to automated soft

7、ware quality(ASQ)products and providers to enable visibility and analytics for these applications,as well as adaptive testing infrastructure support for and in the cloud.With a shift to microservices and no-code development,additional challenges need to be addressed to encompass quality needs for a

8、mix of native cloud,hybrid,and on-premises approaches.This dynamic cloud testing market is evolving rapidly with strong demand and adoption,so the current IDC MarketScape includes a focused analysis to support users in their strategy and purchase decisions.As organizations create branding on mobile

9、and other multimodal platforms that deploy for and in the cloud,IDC sees urgent need for approaches to software quality that extend cloud testing.These areas include an imperative for software resilience,service virtualization,and coordination with the DevOps pipeline and the emergence of intelligen

10、t analytics with machine learning(ML)and artificial intelligence(AI),leveraging process automation techniques such as robotic process automation(RPA)and functionality that addresses quality for nonhuman interfaces(such as API testing)and human interfaces(e.g.,user interfaces UIs and user experience

11、UX).User engagement is driving adoption and uptake in this area for automated software quality.Specifically,benefits and growth factors for cloud testing in the cloud and of cloud applications include the following:Cloud testing enables rapid,flexible access to both quality solutions and virtual sup

12、port infrastructure to sustain complex software sourcing and distributed development.ASQ SaaS and cloud testing provide ease of access,increased management efficiency,fewer needed resources,and less capital expenditure compared with on-premises ASQ.Coordination between DevOps pipelines and cloud tes

13、ting tools enables user visibility,analytics across areas,and improved execution.Service virtualization can provide continuous integration(CI)for DevOps and virtual test environments(and is an adoption driver in this arena and criteria for evaluation).2022 IDC#US47097221e 3 With a dramatic shift to

14、microservices,developers must address consequences like the need for quality coordination across cloud native,hybrid,and on premises(including back-end nonfunctional requirements such as API testing,as well as UI and user experience testing).IDC sees increased adoption and improving automation capab

15、ilities for smart analytics,such as ML and AI to make cloud test data visible and pragmatically actionable.Users should also evaluate opportunities for increased efficiency of scale with RPA for cloud testing in a range of emerging areas for developers and businesses and to facilitate infrastructure

16、 provisioning.Architecting,designing,and developing secure and resilient cloud applications benefit from automation and DevSecOps strategies;we include application security testing(AST)vendors as part of this analysis to underscore that imperative.Enterprises,small and medium-sized businesses(SMBs),

17、and managed service providers leverage cloud testing to lower costs and increase flexibility for testing where on-premises solutions are prohibitively cumbersome given the need for velocity and cost savings.Large service and solution providers see cloud testing as an opportunity to evolve and bundle

18、 new quality services together to target emerging markets for additional value-add and service offerings.This complements well the quality needs for mobile,ERP,security,and other areas(regulatory compliance,VoIP,etc.).Benefits of self-service infrastructure provisioning are key across areas(cost,ada

19、ptability,flexibility,and dynamism).We also see increasing demand for analysis of the readiness of existing noncloud legacy applications for migration to the cloud.Tools that enable analysis of the quality of cloud applications are also assessed in this IDC MarketScape.IDC MARKETSCAPE VENDOR INCLUSI

20、ON CRITERIA IDC evaluated 24 vendors for inclusion in this IDC MarketScape for cloud testing and ASQ SaaS.Vendors needed to have sufficient cloud testing automated software quality capabilities available in key areas of concern(e.g.,test infrastructure provisioning and configuration management;deep

21、analytics for analysis of performance optimization,service virtualization,and architectural and other analysis to enable visibility into the health of applications deployed in native and hybrid cloud;readiness for software targeting the cloud;and/or delivery of their ASQ software solution in the clo

22、ud with partner integration for other capabilities)for IDC clients.(Security is a key concern,so we included application security testing providers as part of this assessment,even where cloud testing is not a primary focus.)Vendors needed to appear in IDC discussions with end-user clients as part of

23、 RFP and other inquiry for cloud testing during 20212022 and needed minimum overall revenue of$20 million for CY20,with at least$5 million of that revenue from ASQ.Smaller,targeted vendors with engaging functionality and focus were also included in this study to provide context for emerging areas of

24、 importance(even if they do not have a full portfolio of enterprise capabilities).Vendors evaluated in this IDC MarketScape are Applitools,BMC,Broadcom,Checkmarx,Contrast Security,digital.ai,GitLab,HCL,HeadSpin,IBM,Keysight(formerly Eggplant),Micro Focus,Microsoft,NTT Security AppSec Solutions(forme

25、rly WhiteHat Security),Parasoft,Perforce,Sauce Labs,SmartBear,SonarSource,Synopsys,Tricentis,UiPath,Veracode,and Worksoft.IDC structured its approach to inclusion of vendors in the cloud testing category based on the strength of their products ASQ cloud capabilities and strategy,revenue share in par

26、t(as indicators of adoption and staying power),and differentiated position and capabilities in emerging markets of concern.Examples of additional providers not evaluated as part of this assessment(those that could also be considered for aspects of cloud testing)include BrowserStack and CAST Software

27、.The focus of IDC 2022 IDC#US47097221e 4 for leaders has been on cloud testing breadth and depth,scalability,coordination with end-to-end life-cycle management,API testing,service virtualization,and strong data analytics with emerging and existing ML,AI,and also RPA capabilities;managing IT infrastr

28、ucture as workflow;and process support for systemic adoption and engagement,which have been key drivers for leadership.ADVICE FOR TECHNOLOGY BUYERS Cloud testing facilitates the release and provisioning process through improved infrastructure availability and management for testing pre-and post-prod

29、uction.Service virtualization plays a role for both test labs and release management/provisioning.For this reason,IDC includes assessment of coordination for cloud testing solutions pre-and post-deployment as a criterion.In addition,we see broader use of ASQ in coordination with application life-cyc

30、le management DevOps solutions.These products which include requirements,testing,software change management,version control,release management and deployment,and in some instances,project portfolio and agile process management can help provide granular metrics for the assessment of IT software quali

31、ty project delivery and/or delays.These quantitative metrics can provide guidance for both cloud testing and ASQ SaaS success and failure and the effectiveness of internal and external resources being used to execute on software quality initiatives.Those metrics then help enable qualitative choices

32、about risk,compliance,and where additional resources may be needed to troubleshoot quality problem for challenging delayed software programs.Test data management plays a role here as well.(Typically,the projects with the greatest business value and dynamism involve greater risk for which quality nee

33、ds to be monitored effectively.)These metrics can also help inform choices about internal resources and service providers where outsourcing is a key element for software portfolio execution.These market factors and end-user demands informed IDCs choices about focus and weighting for this IDC MarketS

34、cape for cloud testing and ASQ SaaS assessment framework.This study evaluates the principal vendors participating in cloud testing areas and applies that lens to the overall IDC MarketScape for ASQ series(including separate documents on enterprise ASQ,security testing,and mobile and digital quality;

35、see the Appendix for the definition and criteria for the cloud testing analysis).At a time of global disruption(with the ongoing health crisis,as well as environmental and geopolitical upheaval)and increased technology complexity,businesses require the capability to be able to effectively test and o

36、ptimize cloud software that drives business innovation.IDC research indicates that around half of organizations are deploying core applications in the cloud(see Figure 2).We see automation evolving to address a range of technical and other challenges as organizations leverage mixed environments with

37、 cloud-native deployments,combined with hybrid and on premises.As an example,areas of focus for cloud-native application testing include microservices,E2E and exploratory testing,chaos/fuzz testing and recovery,stress,load,and elasticity testing,A/B,and continuous integration/continuous delivery(CD)

40、loud is an obvious benefit at a time of constrained resources with ongoing volatility globally.Companies have little leeway for poor software quality as they push forward competitively.Resources for both development and quality assurance and quality control remain highly constrained.Companies must m

41、ake appropriate test automation strategy decisions for their businesses in response to both dramatically increased technology complexity and severe competitive and innovation pressures.IDCs cloud testing evaluation is based on a comprehensive framework and a set of parameters to assess vendors relat

42、ive to one another and to those factors expected to be most conducive to user demand and to market and competitive success for the short term and the long term.Overall,cloud testing excellence for this research must encompass strong capabilities for testing of applications in the cloud and cloud tes

43、t infrastructure management and dynamic provisioning,SaaS options for ASQ,and testing of target cloud applications.With a rise in complex sourcing,we increasingly see the need for metrics and service-level agreements(SLAs)that incorporate visibility into application performance in the cloud.This can

44、 facilitate evaluation of internal and external resources with testing metrics while improving assessment of consistent quality execution for 2022 IDC#US47097221e 6 successful software and effective software performance optimization with the use of adaptive cloud infrastructure.The focus for this ID

45、C MarketScape for cloud testing and ASQ SaaS(and for the companion IDC MarketScape for ASQ documents)was chosen based on IDCs assessment of evolving market demand and user input.Additional ASQ perspectives may be needed and are available on a custom basis.Context and analysis for these ASQ views are

46、 key;however,a single view(or narrow combination of views)by itself is inadequate for ASQ purchase decisions.These decisions must be made in the context of user organizational and process maturity,most pressing immediate and long-term demand and gap assessment,and dialogue with solution providers,an

47、alysts,and user references(and communities)with comparable needs.Note:Those vendors rated most highly in this analysis have focused strategically on cloud testing both in the cloud and of cloud applications with examples of multi-thousand,cross-geographic,and multimodal quality cloud deployments and

48、 emerging technology support in key related areas(including managing IT infrastructure as workflow).VENDOR SUMMARY PROFILE This section explains IDCs key observations resulting in a vendors position in the IDC MarketScape.While every vendor is evaluated against each of the criteria outlined in the A

49、ppendix,the description here provides a summary of each vendors strengths and challenges.UiPath UiPath is positioned in the Leaders category in the 2022 IDC MarketScape for worldwide cloud testing.UiPaths products considered as part of this vendor assessment in this series include UiPath Test Suite

50、with related components,Test Manager,Studio,Orchestrator,and Robots.UiPath was founded in 2005 as DeskOver and repositioned into robotic process automation in 2013 with the launch of its first UiPath Desktop Automation product line.By 2018,UiPath became the largest provider of RPA platform software,

51、and in 2019,the company had nearly 30.0%share of the intelligent process automation market.With dramatic revenue growth in its last fiscal year,UiPath further consolidated its RPA position as it prepared for a successful IPO(2Q21).UiPath broadened its market opportunity for RPA generally and ASQ wit

52、h three acquisitions:ProcessGold for process mining(4Q19),StepShot for task mining and process documentation(4Q19),and Cloud Elements(1Q21)for API-based automation.UiPath began investing in targeted test automation support as part of a broader strategy to diversify,announcing the general availabilit

53、y release of Test Manager in July 2020.Headquartered in New York City,UiPath has over 2,800 employees worldwide,of which about 100 are directly attributed to Test Suite and servicing its approximately 688 ASQ customers(354 in Americas,204 in EMEA,and 130 in APJ,as of 1Q22).Company Strategy UiPaths T

54、est Suite is made up of four tightly integrated components:Test Manager is a web application hosted by Test Management Hub to manage the testing process including assigning automation to test cases and test cases to requirements,dashboards,and reporting and manual testing.Test Management Hub also in

55、tegrates Test Suite with third-party ALM tools.2022 IDC#US47097221e 7 Studio is used to create and design automated tests via a low-code workflow editor.Prebuilt automation activities are also available from the UiPath Marketplace.Orchestrator executes tests,whether scheduled or build driven through

56、 a CI/CD pipeline,and analyzes the results.Robots execute automated test cases on multiple machines in parallel.Natively,UiPath Test Suite supports functional and regression testing at the UI level and API level and on mobile devices.With UI-based and API-based RPA at its core,Test Suite supports te

57、sting more than 190 technologies from legacy systems to mobile applications and devices,as well as virtualized systems with UiPath AI Computer Vision technology.For testing outside of Test Suites native capabilities,such as load testing,performance testing,and security testing,UiPath leverages integ

58、rations.For example,Studio Pro integrates with open source technologies such as Selenium or proprietary technology such as Micro Focus UFT or Postman.Orchestrator is integrated with CI/CD pipeline tools via plug-ins and exposes a set of RESTful APIs.Test Manager enables integration with existing ALM

59、 tools such as Jira,Xray,ServiceNow,Azure DevOps,SAP Solution Manager,and qTest.Finally,Test Manager provides an SDK that can enable integration with other test tools such as HP ALM and Redmine.To differentiate its testing and ASQ portfolio,UiPath capitalizes on its technology and dominant position

60、in the RPA market,enabling timely needed coordination and synergy for testing of RPA and for leveraging RPA as part of testing(incorporating task and process mining increasingly).As part of an enterprise automation platform,Test Suite serves both RPA testing and software application testing missions

61、.Built on production-grade RPA technology,the convergence of RPA and testing permits the sharing of skills,experience,and automation components across the enterprise.RPA itself can be highly beneficial for test automation.For example,UiPath provides predefined automations for the testing tasks,such

62、as preparing and ramping up environments or spinning up virtual machines.In addition,UiPath empowers automated testing with a scriptless approach,giving developers and testers a pathway to become automators.UiPaths open architecture allows Test Suite to integrate all the testing activities under the

63、 same platform so that its easier to test and maintain workflows.Further,the platforms openness can help make testing an integral part of the development process by connecting to ALM tools.By enabling customers to build automations faster,test a range of technologies,and proactively resolve issues,T

64、est Suite helps ensure that applications and automated processes are robust and resilient,so customers can focus on scaling.UiPath customers with whom IDC spoke were able to apply test automation with RPA on both modern and legacy applications,expanding what could be automated and automating what wa

65、s previously difficult and complex.One reference equated the time saved using UiPath for both RPA and Test Suite to a savings of$2.5 million for the company.Customers also cited ease of adoption for regression and cross-platform testing,close connection to key business processes,and collaborative su

66、pport as contributors to increasing efficiency and speed for testing.For one customer,Test Suite helped improve release velocity from every eight months to monthly.In addition,failure rates for their releases decreased from greater than 50%to 1-2%,which increased users confidence and trust in their

67、applications.Strengths The breadth,depth,and preeminence of UiPaths RPA portfolio provide a solid foundation for the companys testing portfolio.The open architecture and API integration strategies position UiPath to expand and augment its testing portfolio functionality and offer the benefits of bro

68、ad,supported 2022 IDC#US47097221e 8 products that are popularly adopted and dominant in the market.At the same time,businesses are increasingly dependent on RPA.The demand is growing for testing business-critical RPA components and capabilities that have become increasingly vital with the rise of no

69、-code development,which UiPath is singularly well positioned to address.UiPath has a differentiated opportunity to leverage its portfolio synergistically both for software testing efficiency and to address demand for RPA testing.Challenges While UiPaths testing portfolio is rapidly evolving for ASQ,

70、it is still early in its maturation and relies on third-party and/or open source integration to provide capabilities such as performance testing and application security testing.Similarly,though the need is pressing,testing for RPA and RPA for software testing itself is still nascent and evolving,an

71、d UiPath is one of only several vendors in the market combining RPA tools,RPA testing,and ASQ.In that context,market awareness of UiPath as both an RPA provider and a software testing provider is in its early stages,and UiPath is currently investing in this area to increase market awareness.These fa

72、ctors can contribute to challenges in gaining traction and moving from early engagement to mainstream customers and adoption.UiPaths open architecture is a benefit of course,as are partner integrations in key areas not yet addressed by the platform.However,we expect additional investment and continu

73、ed evolution of the UiPath ASQ portfolio to enable ownership and control.Overall,we see UiPath evolving its capabilities for ASQ and synergistic areas at a rapid pace,and we expect ongoing,significant growth and adoption as the benefits become clearer to a maturing customer and prospect base and dem

74、and increases with market evolution.APPENDIX Reading an IDC MarketScape Graph For the purposes of this analysis,IDC divided potential key measures for success into two primary categories:capabilities and strategies.Positioning on the y-axis reflects the vendors current capabilities and menu of servi

75、ces and how well aligned the vendor is to customer needs.The capabilities category focuses on the capabilities of the company and product today,here and now.Under this category,IDC analysts will look at how well a vendor is building/delivering capabilities that enable it to execute its chosen strate

76、gy in the market.Positioning on the x-axis,or strategies axis,indicates how well the vendors future strategy aligns with what customers will require in three to five years.The strategies category focuses on high-level decisions and underlying assumptions about offerings,customer segments,and busines

77、s and go-to-market plans for the next three to five years.The size of the individual vendor markers in the IDC MarketScape represents the market share and usage of each individual vendor within the specific market segment being assessed.IDC MarketScape Methodology IDC MarketScape criteria selection,

78、weightings,and vendor scores represent well-researched IDC judgment about the market and specific vendors.IDC analysts tailor the range of standard characteristics by which vendors are measured through structured discussions,surveys,and interviews with market leaders,participants,and end users.Marke

79、t weightings are based on user interviews,buyer surveys,and the input of IDC experts in each market.IDC analysts base individual 2022 IDC#US47097221e 9 vendor scores,and ultimately vendor positions on the IDC MarketScape,on detailed surveys and interviews with the vendors,publicly available informat

80、ion,and end-user experiences in an effort to provide an accurate and consistent assessment of each vendors characteristics,behavior,and capability.Market Definition The automated software quality(ASQ)SaaS and cloud testing market is a competitive market representing software as a service covering th

81、e automated software quality functional market and also revenue from the worldwide security and vulnerability management functional market including SaaS products sold providing code analytics as part of software quality,analysis,and measurement functionality.Automated software quality tools support

82、 software unit testing,system testing,or both;they also support software quality assurance.Functions such as test specification,generation,execution,and results analysis,as well as test and QA management,are included in this category.ASQ SaaS and testing in the cloud(private,public,and hybrid)and vi

83、rtual test lab management as well as software quality analysis and measurement are included in this category.Emerging platform support for mobile,video,crowdsourcing,end-user experience,embedded software quality,and other areas will be considered.The software quality analysis and measurement aspect

84、of ASQ consists of software tools that enable organizations to observe,measure,and evaluate software complexity,size,productivity,and risk.To qualify as a software-as-a-service solution,the offering is provided by a third-party,offsite provider and is not deployed internally by the end user.It is al

85、so required to support the majority of the following attributes:Is a shared one-to-many service built for a public market,not for a single customer(We also see the emergence of private cloud and hybrid cloud testing solutions.)Is provided as a turnkey solution that integrates required resources Prov

86、ides dynamic,fine-grained service scaling associated with the needs of the business,the numbers of users,and so forth Supports user-oriented pricing,utilization,and cost tracking Enables self-service provisioning with cloud testing(although some onboarding may be necessary with staff support for mor

87、e complex customizations)SaaS and emerging cloud testing offerings often bundle hardware,services,and software licenses into an annual(or sometimes monthly)subscription fee,though in some cases,the user may license the software separately from the supporting infrastructure and services.SaaS can act

88、as an on-ramp to cloud testing.Testing is particularly well suited to a cloud delivery model,given the need to mirror production systems with appropriate infrastructure to support consistent,well-managed,quality approaches.IDCs estimates for this market include all revenue associated with the delive

89、ry of services that support the functionality described previously.While the majority of revenue presented here is in SaaS,we expect increasing revenue for cloud testing offerings and user uptake to continue through 2022 and beyond.2022 IDC#US47097221e 10 LEARN MORE Related Research IDC MarketScape:

94、21)IDCs Worldwide Software Taxonomy,2021(IDC#US47588620,April 2021)Synopsis This IDC study uses the IDC MarketScape model to provide an assessment for cloud testing and ASQ SaaS,evaluating automated tools capabilities for enabling virtual testing infrastructure in the cloud,service virtualization,an

95、d testing of cloud applications as one of four key assessments of the IDC MarketScape series for ASQ to provide a comprehensive view across key areas of the market enterprise ASQ/DevOps,quality/security,and mobile testing and digital quality.Organizations seeking processes,services,and product autom

96、ation capabilities for ASQ come to their decision making with varying levels of maturity,differing pain points,and challenges.This is even more the case in a volatile global context as companies continue to struggle with unpredictability of the pandemic,complex deployment needs and sourcing,limited

97、QA resources,and varying levels of flexibility to meet business and competitive pressures.The intent with IDCs cloud testing ASQ criteria and our four-document report series is to demonstrate weighting approaches for the areas of greatest importance that come up for users making ASQ selections curre

98、ntly with transformative demands for mobile,cloud,IoT,and other areas.Too frequently,users and vendors see one sample market assessment diagram and assume that a single model for the market will directly address all their needs(with no context for user-specific challenges or variegated maturity leve

99、ls).We believe that in-context weighting and analysis is optimal to enable pragmatic insight for users making decisions in a dynamic,increasingly chaotic,complex global competitive and geo-political environment.Additional weighting and visibility are available individually yet publishing multiple ID

100、C MarketScape documents for ASQ can enable decision makers to see varying approaches based on their peers experiences,as they consider IDCs analysis.IDC has seen a dramatic increase in multimodal development and complex sourcing for software projects.This continues the existing trend for combining i

101、nternal resources with contractors,onshore/offshore providers,and use of open source multicloud and cross-cloud environments.With 2022 IDC#US47097221e 11 continuous integration and agile DevOps approaches along with the need for DevSecOps,the demand for effective quality has increased geometrically,

102、said Melinda Ballou,program director for IDCs Application Life-Cycle Management and Executive Strategies service.Creating strategies that enable cloud testing with virtual infrastructure and service virtualization as well as testing of cloud applications for visibility into their health enable broad

103、er portfolio coordination with ALM and capabilities for emerging platforms with mobile,cloud,IoT,and other areas.It is in part due to this increase in vulnerabilities and complexity for software development and deployment projects that IDC has chosen to prioritize combined capabilities for ASQ with

104、additional life-cycle areas.Cloud testing solutions in this context can provide a basis for collaboration to enable continuous quality as part of end-to-end DevOps.While this IDC MarketScape focuses on cloud testing,IDC has chosen the context of three additional sample weighting strategies that have

105、 currency in 2022 and are frequently requested by users speaking with us mobile testing and digital quality;security testing,code analytics,and software composition analysis;and enterprise ASQ.Global organizations seeking to coordinate continuous DevOps and other areas demand high levels of function
