Qodestack’S Shift Left Approach
At present most of the companies are using traditional testing practice, where they start testing after the product is developed and deployed to test environment i.e. to the very right of the development life cycle. In this approach testing often start late in the development phase with low code quality and testers are only to blame for product quality, this approach often leads to low product quality, unhappy customers and high project cost.
Qodestack believes that this model is old and we help our customers in moving move towards “Shift left approach” where we test early and everyone is responsible for testing from the inception of the project till it is delivered.
“Shift left approach” is based on prevention rather than detection of bugs in a later stage, in this approach, everyone in the team is equally responsible for the quality of product and all team members contribute towards product quality,
While tester start testing from requirements phase the developer along with tester write a unit test to check basic code functionality followed by API, Integration and UI test automation for faster and high-quality delivery. At the time of product completion full team perform UAT along with TEST team and BA to ensure product meets requirements as designed, and as product testing was mostly automated and well tested from the inception, with no surprise, in the end, the results are far cheaper with high quality.
Team Paticipation in Manual & Test Automation
- Developer and testers should write test automation scripts
- Common reporting platform should be there to check Unit, API, integration and UI test status
- BA, PM, Developers and Testers should be to run and analyze test results
Quality Centric Dev and Test planning
- Lay down rock solid plan to achieve high quality in project
- Unit, API, Integration and UI testing Activities should be part of project planning and estimations
Implement Continuous Integration & Delivery
- Implement Continuous Integration to test
- more often and get faster feedback Take necessary/quick action on failed test
- Find bugs early and reduce time to market
Automate Automation (AI & ML)
- Implement self-learning system that can adapt to test failures and take necessary action beforehand
- Platform for analyzing application failure trends and theirs behavior under high performance
Regural Audits & Feedback
- Gauge the benefits of Shift left program
- Enhance the program and process after taking feedback from stakeholders
- Setup Test Automation COE for sharing and best parctice and lesson learnt
Edge with QodeStack
At Qodestack, we have a rich experience in devising test automation strategy with customized framework for different needs of clientele with varied automation requirements. By virtue of the expertise in the engineering teams, we employ ideal processes across the entire automation life cycle. With the help of in-house expertise and Automation accelerators, we implement a scalable, reusable and resilient code in the framework helping our clients to use it across projects. The user friendly features such as Test scheduling, monitoring, parallel execution on grid, recovery scenarios, and auto-reporting make our overall Automation process lean & fast.
Our Approach
We believe that testing of product start for inception of product and so we always try to start testing early in product requirement phase, having said that it also depend upon circumstances and conditions in which we get the project. Test team will usually follow development team and run parallel test life cycle in Agile with continuous integration and continuous delivery modal.
