According to VersionOne, 97% of software organizations now practice some form of agile development. However, three quarters of enterprises do not concurrently test code during sprints, causing bottlenecks in the release process.
As the adoption of agile grows, many companies have begun to invest in automation to fill the gaps; but, it still only accounts for a small portion of testing. For organizations to gain the most from their agile practice, they must find an ideal balance between manual and automated testing.
