Application Security Testing
Gartner defines the application security testing (AST) market as consisting of providers of products that enable organizations to assess applications for the presence and management of risk. These products identify risk by evaluating source code, performing runtime tests and inspecting supply chain components. AST products can be integrated throughout development workflows for continuous assessment or be used to perform ad hoc evaluations. They enable organizations to manage application risks by providing an integrated set of capabilities for risk identification, prioritization and triage, policy evaluation and enforcement, and remediation assistance. Market offerings are available in on-premises, SaaS and hybrid delivery models. Organizations leverage AST products to assess applications for the presence of security vulnerabilities and other risks (e.g., legal and operational) throughout their life cycle. These assessments are used to measure and manage the risks within individual applications, application components or groups of applications in the context of their business criticality and other key attributes (e.g., environment, sensitive data handling, etc.). AST products further enable organizations to evaluate software for compliance with internal policies as well as regulatory requirements established by governments or authoritative industry groups.

Continuous Configuration Automation Tools (Transitioning to Infrastructure Automation and Orchestration Tools)
Continuous configuration automation (CCA) tools enable the description of configuration states, customization of settings, software binaries deployment, and configuration state reporting. These tools are a programmable framework on which configuration and provisioning tasks can be codified, versioned and managed like any other piece of application code — frequently known as 'infrastructure as code.' Many of the tools in the market provide a repository to store and manage configuration content but can be integrated with or use (code) revision control systems in use by application development teams. System administrators and application developers use CCA tools to programmatically manage the configurations of applications, servers, middleware, databases and other IT infrastructure for both on-premises and cloud data centre environments. Most CCA tools have both an open-source and commercial offering.

Data Masking (Transitioning to Data Masking and Synthetic Data)
Data masking is based on the premise that sensitive data can be transformed into less sensitive but still useful data. This is necessary to satisfy application testing use cases that require representative and coherent data, as well as analytics that involve the use of aggregate data for scoring, model building and statistical reporting. The market for data protection, DM included, continues to evolve with technologies designed to redact, anonymize, pseudonymize, or in some way deidentify data in order to protect it against confidentiality or privacy risk.

Data Virtualization
Data virtualization technology is based on the execution of distributed data management processing, primarily for queries, against multiple heterogeneous data sources, and federation of query results into virtual views. This is followed by the consumption of these virtual views by applications, query/reporting tools, message-oriented middleware or other data management infrastructure components. Data virtualization can be used to create virtualized and integrated views of data in-memory, rather than executing data movement and physically storing integrated views in a target data structure. It provides a layer of abstraction above the physical implementation of data, to simplify querying logic.

DevOps Platforms (Transitioning to DevSecOps Platforms)
Gartner defines DevOps platforms as those that provide fully integrated and orchestrated capabilities to enable continuous delivery of software using agile and DevOps practices. The capabilities span the development and delivery life cycle built around the continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline, including planning, creation, artifact management, security, quality engineering, change management, compliance, environment management, deployment and monitoring. DevOps platforms support team collaboration, consistency, tool simplification and measurement of software delivery metrics. They are delivered primarily as cloud-hosted services with some options for on-premises deployment. DevOps platforms simplify the creation, maintenance and management of the components required for the delivery of various types of modern software. Platforms create common workflows and data models, simplify user access, provide production-like development and test environments, and provide a consistent user experience (UX) to reduce cognitive load. They lead to improved visibility, auditability and traceability for the software delivery value stream. This end-to-end view encourages a systems-thinking mindset and accelerates feedback loops. Organizations use DevOps platforms to minimize tool friction resulting from complex toolchains, manual handoffs and lack of consistent visibility throughout the software development life cycle (SDLC). This enables product teams to deliver faster customer value without compromising quality. The DevOps platforms market reflects the consolidation of technologies across development, security, infrastructure and operations to streamline software delivery.

Load Testing Tools
Load Testing Tools determine the performance of a system, software product, or software application under real-life based load conditions and resource utilization levels. The goal of load testing is to improve performance bottlenecks and to ensure stability and smooth functioning of software application before deployment. Through specialized testing software,various scenarios are simulated to test the system’s behavior under different load conditions. The software places a simulated “load” or demand from multiple sources on applications to ensure it remains stable during operation and peak load. It enables test analysts to evaluate application performance and maximize the operating capacity of the application.

Mobile Application Testing Services
Mobile testing services are different from traditional application testing with additional complexity, such as the testing of multiplatform, networks, multiple operating systems (OSs) as well as different devices. These services are needed to test the function, performance, compatibility and other details of a mobile application, using both manual and automated tests. While the testing this market refers to is that of applications residing on mobile handheld devices, the testing must also take into account the data being gathered or supplied to embedded devices and sensors with the Internet of Things (IoT) becoming more prominent. User experience is key in mobility by creating unique requirements for the testing process. With digital business and customer experience, applications and data are increasingly available and visible to external constituents — especially customers. Thus, quality, reliability, security, and adaptability needed for external use of systems are far beyond internal usage.
