With remote work capability now a necessity, companies must have the tools in place to enable distributed teams to perform at the highest level. test IO is one of those tools.
In January, we posted an article talking about Shift-Left Testing and its role in the software development lifecycle.
As a quick recap, shift-left testing entails moving the testing phase from right to left in the software lifecycle. Testing is performed earlier in the cycle, and testing takes place continuously, not just at the end of the cycle. This offers an alternative approach to testing that keeps up with continuous deployment.
Chronologically in the SDLC, the earliest forms of shift-left testing typically revolve around automation (i.e. running unit tests). This is because the smallest units come first, and customer-facing features have not yet been implemented or fully built out (thus making it difficult to test for functionality). Of course, you can still test early and often using automation, but is there a place for manual testing at the far left?
If so, when? And how would you implement it?

We’re able to do what we do because of our incredible and diverse community of testers. Meet Alex, a Policeman now QA Engineer who gained the real-world QA experience he needed to change careers testing with test IO.
When budgeting for crowdtesting in the coming years, it's important to know all the value it adds. Here a little more on one of those values, time compression.
