Developers, shift-left doesn’t mean you’re doing a QA’s job! It means everyone is responsible for quality.
It’s about catching flaws as early as possible, to save time and money and maximise quality.
I have found security bugs during end-to-end testing in the past that took a developer days to fix. If we had caught those during the design phase, it would have been a 5-minute chat.
Kent Beck and Cynthia Andres: "Most defects end up costing more than it would have cost to prevent them."
Engineers, if you advocate for shift-left, please like this post!
