Test frameworks and commercial choices are increasing. In the past few years, there has been a lot of improvement in test automation. One example is that static code review is being used more thoroughly for security checks. SonarQube is an all-encompassing reporter of project quality and new frameworks are emerging to improve on the old. Here are a few implications:
