Session: Holistic Testing Strategies: Integrating Shift Left and Shift Right
In today's dynamic software development landscape, the pursuit of customer-centric, high-quality products is essential. This presentation delves into the art of aligning Shift-Left and Shift-Right testing strategies to ensure comprehensive and effective validation throughout the software development lifecycle.
Exploring real-world obstacles encountered by development team in traditional testing, prompting their transition to a modern approach.
This transition led to significant improvements in software quality, cost efficiency, and led to a more dependable product delivery. We discuss their adoption of critical Shift-Left strategies, such as early tester involvement, test automation, and code reviews.
However, a modern tester's role extends beyond testing. To address issues like low user engagement and peak-hour performance degradation, Shift-Right testing becomes crucial. We delve into Shift-Right techniques, including production monitoring, chaos testing, and A/B testing, which enhanced user experience and system resilience.
This presentation emphasizes that Shift-Left and Shift-Right testing strategies are not in competition; they work in harmony to create a balanced testing approach. This equilibrium is vital for achieving software quality, cost reduction, and customer satisfaction.
Attendees will gain insights on creating a holistic testing strategy that ensures their products not only meet but surpass customer expectations in the modern software development landscape.
