Testing Just Shifted to the Future

Jason Arbon has previously blogged about how the recent work-from-home and macro environment has been impacting testers and testing activity. The world of testing just got nudged pretty hard by world events. Everyone has felt the shift, but may not realize the long term impact on the profession. We are in the acceleration phase of a new shift, one that will impact who, what, where, when, why, and how testing will be done in the near future. The recent mass experiment of working from home, under pressure, under economic shock, with real-time changes, under government watch, the software now considered the critical infrastructure, and a lot of ambiguity will change the face of testing forever. 

Sure, things will eventually normalize to a degree, but these shifts were already underway; the world just accelerated them for us.
