Definition and Scope:
Emphasizes early quality assurance, starting from ideation to development.
Focuses on preventing issues before they arise.
Components of Shift Left:
Collaboration from the ideation stage.
Building a common understanding using example mapping.
Quality-driven coding, testing, and automation.
Continuous feedback and iterative improvements.
Benefits:
Higher quality software delivery.
Increased release frequency.
Competitive advantage through reduced rework and quicker delivery.
Shift Right Testing: Definition and Importance
Focuses on learning from production environments.
Incorporates real-time testing, user feedback, and monitoring.
Techniques:
Experimentation and feature toggling.
Canary releases and performance testing in production.
Using monitoring tools for insights and continuous improvement.
Benefits:
Better alignment with customer needs.
Risk management through gradual rollout.
Feedback integration for continuous quality improvement.
Overarching Concept - Continuous Quality: Integration of Left and Right
Advocates for continuous collaboration, feedback, and improvement.
Promotes the use of tools and processes to unify shift-left and shift-right approaches.
Outcome:
Ensures quality throughout the development lifecycle.
Encourages adaptability and responsiveness to change.
