Key Insights on Open-Source Testing Tools and Adoption Barriers

Tricentis and three survey project collaborators have provided new insights on global trends in open-source tool testing - revealing that technical skills is the main roadblock to open-source tool adoption.

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.
