We asked software testers 
about their jobs: what distracts 
them, what they would change 
and how testing could be better. 
Here’s what they said. 
NEARLY HALF OF ALL TESTERS want to spend 
more time designing and running automated tests— 
but 7 out of 10 spend almost no time doing that. 
say they don't have 
enough time to test 
today's mobile apps. 
48 
testers say they rarely find bugs 
in production. Two out of five say 
they always find bugs in testing, 
and a third say they catch them 
in development. 
CHANGING RELEASE DATES 
AND ADDING RESOURCES. 
WHAT ARE THE TWO MOST 
COMMON WAYS OF DEALING 
WITH DELAYS? 
WHAT % OF TESTERS 
SPEND MORE THAN 
½ THEIR WEEK 
NOT TESTING? 
That’s it for us 
today, folks. 
Here’s a lovely 
parting gift: the 
full results of our 
testing survey! 
Thanks for playing! 
We’ll see you next 
time at… 
gO nOw SuRvEy SaYs!
