An Idea of Shift-left Testing – What, Why, How and When?

“Shift-left testing” term coined by Larry Smith in 2001, has been interpreted and implemented in different ways. Although goal for adopting shift-left testing revolves around the idea of early testing but the approach to reach that goal can differ at an organization or a team level. The intent of this presentation is to let the audience know about some of the common interpretations of shift-left testing followed by speaker's idea of shift-left testing with automation first mindset.

Shift-left testing is an approach to solve the problems around the “cost of defect identification at a later stage of software development lifecycle”, which in turn impacts the overall quality of the product. This presentation shall help audience to understand the problem statement, for which shift-left testing stands as a solution and how automation tools can aide the idea of shift-left testing to make the process easily consumable by agile teams (including developers and testers).
