App test automation involves the utilization of automated tools and scripts to methodically assess and validate the functionality, performance, and reliability of software applications. This approach streamlines the testing process, leading to improved software quality. It aims to enhance efficiency by minimizing manual testing efforts and ensuring swift and consistent validation of application behavior.
The primary testing types for app test automation include static testing, dynamic testing, end-to-end (E2E) testing, and application programming interface (API) testing. Static testing involves scrutinizing the code or software without execution, aiding in the identification of issues before they arise in the operational application, thereby enhancing software quality. Deployment options encompass both on-premises and cloud modes, catering to various organizational types such as small and medium enterprises and large enterprises. End-users span across industries including information technology and telecommunications, healthcare, transportation and logistics, retail, and banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI).

The app test automation market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $25.79 billion in 2023 to $31.29 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.4%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the increased scaling of automation across the application life cycle (ASALC), the rapid expansion of mobile app development (RGIMAD), and the growing adoption of cloud computing (GACC).
The app test automation market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $66.89 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is expected to be fueled by several factors, including the increasing demand for faster time-to-market (FTTM), the adoption of a shift-left testing approach (SLTA), the rising complexity of applications (ICA), and heightened user expectations for quality (UEQ). Major trends projected for this period include the transformation of quality assurance through AI-driven approaches (AIDQT), a focus on security and compliance (SAC), the proliferation of mobile test automation (MTA), and the management of test data (TDM).
The increasing adoption of cloud computing is poised to drive the growth of the app test automation market in the coming years. Cloud computing entails the provision of computing services, including storage, processing, and software, over the Internet, enabling users to access and utilize resources on-demand without the need for physical infrastructure. This adoption surge is fueled by cloud computing's capacity to offer scalability, cost efficiency, and accessibility, empowering businesses to streamline operations and accelerate innovation. Cloud computing facilitates app test automation by furnishing scalable and on-demand resources, facilitating efficient parallel testing, expediting execution, and enabling cost-effective test infrastructure management. For example, in December 2023, Eurostat, a UK-based intergovernmental organization, reported that 45.2% of EU enterprises procured cloud computing services, primarily for hosting email systems, storing electronic files, and other tasks. Purchases of cloud computing services by EU enterprises witnessed a 4.2% point increase in 2023 compared to 2021. Notably, 44% of traditional small businesses, 66% of small tech companies, and 74% of enterprises leverage cloud services. Hence, the growing adoption of cloud computing fuels the expansion of the app test automation market.
Key players in the app test automation market are innovating advanced solutions, such as software-testing AI technology, to meet the escalating demand for efficient and intelligent testing processes. This technology automates test case generation, execution, and analysis to bolster efficiency and accuracy. For instance, in April 2023, Sofy, a US-based software testing company, introduced SofySense, an advanced mobile app testing solution integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and no-code automation. SofySense enhances Sofy's existing platform by incorporating GPT-powered intelligent software-testing AI technology to support quality assurance (QA). With this cutting-edge solution, testers can concentrate on high-priority tasks, while the intelligent generative AI chatbot, Sofybot, delivers rapid and precise responses to specific testing inquiries.
