Shift-left testing refers to the process of moving testing earlier in the development cycle. Shift-left offers tremendous gains when compared to the old order of testing only when the code is complete.
BENEFITS
- Find bugs and GAPs early in the software development life cycle.
- Reduce the cost of solving bugs by detecting them early.
- Gain a higher-quality product as the code contains fewer patches and code fixes.
- Have fewer chances that the product overshoots the estimated timeline.
- Provide higher customer satisfaction as the code is stable and delivered within the budget.
- Maintain higher-quality codebase.
- Ability to use test automation tools.
As we want to test early and often, test automation helps you accomplish this goal. We don’t want to overload our testing team with manually testing every new feature the development team introduces. Therefore, a test automation tool can give quicker feedback regarding the stability of the new code.
Furthermore, a test automation tool helps your team shift left. Your team can write tests faster and it becomes easier to maintain them using a test automation tool. SIPSA´s TAST, offers you a complete framework for the Definition, Planning and Execution of Tests assuring successful automation.
