Shifting Left - Using Cost of Quality as a Driver Against Resistance
Agile practices, being espoused almost universally, demand that testing be done faster and earlier in the software development
lifecycle (SDLC).
Leaders of application development are under cumulative pressure to sustain quality while growing delivery velocity.
To establish a highly productive product delivery organization, they should employ a shift-left approach to testing and invest in
test automation.
While shift-left testing may appear to be the ideal approach for assisting you in the testing process before releasing new
products, the technique is insufficient on its own.
Shift-left testing must be integrated into continuous testing so that testers can yield more prevalent, comprehensive, and
realistic tests using real functional data.
The confluence of “shift-left continuous testing” increases the automation of your application testing and ensures that it is used
as much, as early, and as continuously as possible throughout the product development pipeline.
While continuous testing is part of the DevOps pipeline process for feedback on bugs, shift-left testing focuses on defined
targets.

What do Shift-Left and Continuous Testing mean for your DevOps QA strategy?
Continuous testing is a process of incorporating automated tests into the software delivery pipeline quickly, steadily, and
comprehensively.
If the whole of the DevOPs pipeline (i.e. from the plan, design, development to implementation) is included in the continuous
testing, then the left shift will be part of each cycle and establishes test strategies for each work in the cycle.
What is the webinar all about?
Gartner Research finds that "Application leaders are under increasing pressure to maintain quality while increasing the
velocity of delivery".
Attend this webinar for insights on making a case for Shift Left, establishing an end-to-end strategy, anticipating challenges,
and managing change through a real-world enterprise case study.
