Companies are reluctant to use automated testing
providers on the subject
Complex systems require extensive testing, but according to a Keysight survey, few companies use automated testing or artificial intelligence. However, the advantages of the automated test outweigh the disadvantages.

Automated test: In a survey by the measurement technology provider Keysight Technologies, 84 percent of the companies surveyed stated that complex tests are part of their everyday life. The study, titled Conquer Testing Complexities with Automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI), shows that automation is on the rise.
75 percent of companies use a combination of automated and manual tests. However, only 11 percent have a fully automated strategy. As complexity increases, so does testing, at 77 percent, and without automation, product development slows down.

The study found that many companies are feeling pressure to automate more testing. Keysight’s Jeff Harris adds, “Manual or semi-automated strategies can’t keep up with the demands of today’s organizations, and without AI-powered automation, they will struggle to manage the test complexity.”
Keysight experts also expect remote testing and automated test sequencing to continue to accelerate. The digital twins are also becoming more important. Development teams want to continue to work together worldwide and from different locations.
How automated testing is impacting organizations
“At Keysight, we are building this workflow insight automation across our entire software product portfolio to meet these needs and drive test and validation automation.”
As the complexity of the text increases, the cycles lengthen. But also how errors and problems that arise are recorded and then rectified. Because the problems directly affect the business results and the product development process. Respondents ranked the impact as follows:
- 51 percent: risk of security vulnerabilities
- 48 percent: Increased costs
- 42 percent: Longer time to market
- 36 percent: Defective product
- 34 percent: loss of income

Companies are realizing that manual and semi-automated testing strategies cannot keep up with the increasing complexity of products. 45 percent of companies want to consider a fully automated approach in the next three years. This corresponds to an increase of 409 percent.
52 percent of companies said they are considering AI for integrating complex test suites. This corresponds to an increase of 325 percent. Companies expect benefits from switching to intelligent, automated test strategies. Respondents expected operational improvements:
- higher productivity (59 percent),
- Simulate product function or performance (54 percent) and
- the automation or simulation of bug fixes (53 percent).
This results in advantages for companies: higher product quality, higher customer satisfaction (59%), reduced time to market (50%) and more flexible product development cycles (50%).
background of the survey
The study, commissioned by Keysight Technologies, was conducted by Forrester as an online survey of 406 enterprise testing decision makers in North America, EMEA and APAC. Participants were asked questions about their companies’ current test environments, future investments, challenges, and expected outcomes of test automation.
