Shift Left Testing

Welcome to Webomates

The software development teams now rapidly need to move towards Shift-left testing to fix the defects at a fast pace and increase feature velocity. Continuous Testing is another demand which needs to be involved as part of Shift-left testing to fix problems at an early stage and expedite feature velocity..

So what exactly is Shift-Left Testing Ten years ago, shift-left was a nouveau concept. It was originally introduced in 2001 by Larry Smith in his article in an effort to integrate the Quality Control(QC) and development parts of a software project. As the name implies, Shift-left testing is an approach to software testing and system testing in which testing is performed earlier in the life cycle (i.e. moved left on the project timeline).

You still need validation that you can carry out as a part of the CI/CD tool chain. There are a couple of methods that can be used to create validation suites. These are unit tests and system tests. Developers typically create unit tests. System tests on the other hand are historically more difficult to integrate into a CI/CD chain. Webomates CQ provides the system tests you need to complete the CI/CD chain.

And why do we need it?

A traditional product life cycle involved Development and QC teams work in silos around base-levels – Development team developed a ‘base-level’ and passed it over to QC team who would test it and revert with defects and feedback to the development team.

A time-consuming loop that organizations wanted to end after realizing the immense potential of the emerging technologies.

shift left testing is a new approach to software testing that moves the bulk of quality assurance earlier in the development process.
