开源测试工具的现状

Tricentis和三个调查项目的合作者最近发布了研究结果，这些研究结果提供了有关开源测试的全球趋势的新见解。 该研究的重点是开放源代码工具测试行业，而不是公司和软件开发人员如何或是否测试其代码。这是开源软件和商业软件或专有软件都面临的问题。 结果显示，缺乏技术技能是采用开源工具的主要障碍，接受调查的组织中有30％表示，他们缺乏采用开源工具的技能，据该公司战略计划高级副总裁Kevin Dunne称。 Tricentis。 成本是开源工具采用的唯一，最大的推动力，接受调查的人中有39％指出，成本是第一大收益。其他因素，例如社区支持（16％）和易定制性（14％），也排名很高。 该发布的报告是从2,000名从事功能测试，负载/性能测试或行为驱动的开发的全球调查受访者中收集的。 结果表明，即使对于最大，最关注安全性的企业，开源测试工具也可以作为可行的选择获得支持。但是，一些受访者仍然面临组织内部对开源安全性和支持的反对。

原文： Tricentis and three survey project collaborators recently published findings that provide new insights on global trends in open-source testing.

The study focused on the open-source tool testing industry, not how or if companies and software developers test their code. This is an issue that confronts both open-source and commercial or proprietary software.

The results revealed that a lack of technical skills is the major roadblock to open-source tool adoption, with 30 percent of organizations surveyed saying they lacked the skills to adopt open-source tools, according to Kevin Dunne, senior vice president for strategic initiatives at Tricentis.

Cost is the single, largest driver of open-source tool adoption, with 39 percent of those surveyed stating it as the number one benefit. Other factors, such as community support (16 percent) and ease of customization (14 percent) also rank highly.

The published report is gleaned from 2,000 global survey respondents that work in functional testing, load/performance testing, or behavior-driven development.

The results shows open-source testing tools gaining support as viable options for even the largest and most security-focused enterprises. But some respondents still face opposition to open-source security and support within their organizations.
