It is well understood that quality is an important element for software delivery to occur frequently and safely. But quality is a broad concept that can be applied in a variety of ways across organizations. QAs can be a dedicated team or even part of a cross-functional team, in which they are held accountable for quality. However, relying on just one role to ensure quality can introduce numerous risks.
Software engineers, among other roles, benefit from making quality a priority. A shift-left testing approach can create quicker feedback loops and make it possible to add multiple quality gates in the deployment process.
This talk will discuss the different processes we can implement to make this happen, the benefits of implementing shift-left testing, and how to convince your team of the importance of making quality a part of their development process.
