The Rise of Shift-Left Testing: Benefits and Implementation

In the dynamic realm of software development, the quest for higher efficiency, superior quality, and rapid deployment has spurred the evolution of testing methodologies. Enter Shift-Left Testing, a paradigm shift revolutionizing the traditional approach to quality assurance in software development.

Shift-Left Testing is a strategic approach that emphasizes the early involvement of testing in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Unlike the conventional method where testing occurs in later stages, often nearing product completion, Shift-Left advocates for testing activities to commence as early as the requirements and design phase.
