Having Stable Product for Testing

Test optimization empowers QA engineers and manual testers by enabling "shift-left testing". This approach involves introducing testing activities earlier in the development cycle, specifically targeting changes made in the code. By focusing on relevant tests identified by the tool, testers can:

• Identify issues sooner: By testing changes as they happen, problems are identified earlier in the development lifecycle, before they can snowball and become more complex or time-consuming to fix later.

• Proactive bug fixing: Early detection allows for prompt bug fixing, minimizing the potential impact on other code sections and overall functionality.

• More stable product: Addressing issues early contributes to a more stable and robust product for broader testing phases and ultimately, user satisfaction.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

1. Follow Shift Lest Testing Guide

Shift Left Testing Steps 1-3 are done by developers.

2. Collaborate on Findings

Collaborate on identified issues with developers and other stakeholders for prompt investigation and resolution.

3. Focus on Testing a Stable Product

After the code changes were tested on pull request phase and all critical issues were fixed, you can execute advanced tests, such as end to end or manual tests.

Test optimization empowers testers to become proactive partners in the development process, ultimately contributing to earlier issue detection, a more stable product, and higher user satisfaction.
