While cloud architecture and parallel programming were the trends in 2007, Outsourcing and agile development will be the trends of software development in 2008.
OUTSOURCING SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT:
Outsourcing will become more prominent than before in 2008. Different time zones, different people, different culture and customs will impact software projects than ever before.
Software testers abroad will relatively have less work than before because most of the work will be outsourced to India. India as ever will bloom as an outsourcing center. As the outsourcing trend continues, development organizations should retain business analysis and requirements specification as core competencies.
AGILE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Agile software development is a conceptual framework for software engineering that promotes development iterations throughout the life-cycle of the project.Agile methods emphasize face-to-face communication over written documents.Combined with the preference for face-to-face communication, agile methods produce very little written documentation relative to other methods. This has resulted in criticism of agile methods as being undisciplined.
One issue to be considered in agile development in testing.Testing in an agile environment is new to a lot of testers -- abandoning the waterfall mindset is a huge struggle for them, but they're going to see results this year, and those results will spur even more progress .
