Meet Kailash Joshi, a tester and brand ambassador from India.
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?
Imagine an ideal world where you wake up in the morning, prepare breakfast, brew coffee, and start working when it works for your schedule. By working with test IO as a tester, you can do just that. And it can eventually put you on the path to work full-time at test IO or EPAM. At test IO, we provide sophisticated training through our test IO Academy and offer various […]
Strengthen both automated and manual tests by looking out for human bias.
