Shift-left Testing for Continuous Delivery of Quality and Value at Speed

With the primary focus on u2018speedu2019, testing often has to suffer due to insufficient time and inadequate coverage.

  2. Shift-leftTesting for Continuous Delivery of Quality and Value at Speed James Marcus Bach, Founder and CEO of Satisfice, Inc. and trainer and consultant, says, “Testing is the process of comparing the invisible to the ambiguous, so as to avoid the unthinkable happening to the anonymous.” The recently released World Quality Report paints a rather positive picture of the state of testing and QA. As the need for both Quality AND value at speed becomes imminent, software testing is gaining higher prominence for organizations trying to accelerate digital transformation. The report says, “Expectations of QA have been steadily increasing. There is an upward trend in almost every case for the objectives that include the need to support business growth and the importance of ensuring end-user satisfaction. Both of these indicate that QA is no longer seen as a backroom discipline, divorced from the rest of the organization. If you hear fewer soundbites about QA and more about digital transformation, it’s not because QA has ceased to be relevant, but because the contribution of QA is implicit in the success of the digital transformation. QA has been steadily evolving – from an independent function to an integrated function, and now to an inclusive function. Also, the role of QA practitioner is transforming from testing and finding defects, to ensuring that other engineering team members inculcate quality in their way of working. They need to do this by enabling them and by removing any impediments on their way to achieving quality objectives. QA is not only shifting left but also moving right.”

  3. Shift-leftTesting for Continuous Delivery of Quality and Value at Speed • Objectives of QA and testing • Major business stakeholders have identified the following objectives of Quality Assurance and Testing in their organization: • Business assurance: Contribute to business growth and business outcomes • Custodian of quality: Detect software defects before go-live • Digital happiness: Ensure end-user satisfaction and customer experience • Brand ambassador: Protect the corporate image and branding • Quality at speed: Speed up software releases with good quality • Automate: Make QA and testing a smarter automated process • Quality enablement: Support everybody in the team to achieve higher quality • Testing – Shift-left or Squish-right • James defines testing as “the process of evaluating a product by learning about it through exploration and experiment”. • Testing is an extensive and exhaustive process, which requires dedicated and committed individuals who can help stakeholders make the right decisions about a software product and its release. Given the demands for ‘Quality at speed’ and ‘Value at speed’, organizations have embraced a number of new technologies and methodologies. With the primary focus on ‘speed’, testing often has to suffer due to insufficient time and inadequate coverage.
