The demand for Test Automation, Security and Performance testing will prevail. Additional specializations in these areas will come with niches built along lines of the product domain. Accessibility testing is also another area which will grow in its importance. For a career in Software Testing, ideally getting into Independent testing companies would be the best, given their unbiased focus on Software Quality.
