With the increasing importance of cybersecurity, there could be a trend toward leveraging crowdsourced testing for security assessments. Organizations may tap into a diverse crowd of ethical hackers and security experts to identify vulnerabilities and potential threats in their software or applications, thereby enhancing overall cybersecurity measures.
Integration of blockchain and crowdsourced testing could also transform the market dynamics over the coming years. Blockchain technology could be integrated into crowdsourced testing platforms to enhance transparency, accountability, and rewards for testers. In 2022, TestPlant partnered with the blockchain company Everledger to integrate blockchain technology into its crowdsourced testing platform. This will allow TestPlant customers to track the results of crowdsourced tests on a blockchain ledger, providing increased transparency and traceability. Blockchain's immutable and decentralized nature could help verify and validate testing results, ensuring the authenticity of reported issues and compensations for testers.
