🔰 Shift-Left Testing Vs Shift-Right Testing 🔰 👉Shift-Left Testing : Shift-Left Testing involves integrating testing activities earlier in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Traditionally, testing occurs after the development phase, but with shift-left testing, testing begins as early as the requirement and design phases. The main goal is to identify and fix defects as soon as possible, thereby reducing the cost and effort associated with fixing bugs later in the lifecycle. Ex : During the requirement gathering phase, testers review requirements to identify potential ambiguities and write test cases based on these requirements. During development, unit tests and integration tests are performed continuously to catch defects early. 👉 Shift-Right Testing : Shift-Right Testing involves integrating testing activities later in the SDLC, particularly in the production environment. This approach is closely associated with practices like continuous delivery and DevOps, where the focus is on monitoring, testing, and improving the application in the live environment. Ex : After deploying a new feature to production, a canary release is implemented where the feature is enabled for a small group of users. Performance and error metrics are monitored to ensure the feature is working as expected before a full rollout.

The Role of QA Testing is critical,if you want to set up a continuous delivery pipeline. It's the only way you can trust the changes you made won't break the system and keep the delivery faster. Different types of testing that often gets implemented in continuous delivery - ✔️ Unit Testing - In Unit testing, you write a test inside the code base to validate that function. Usually it's fast and easily runs on the developer's machine. ✔️ Code Hygiene - Best practices you are following for the particular language or framework that you are using. ✔️ Integration Testing - Technical testing, similar to unit testing,but performed with all apps components and dependencies. ✔️ TDD , BDD , ADD - It involves scenerios from end user's perspective. You write autmated tests with examples of use cases. ✔️ Infrastructure Testing - It involves starting up a host and running configuration management code. ✔️ Performance Testing - Load tests, stress tests ,spike tests. ✔️ Security Testing - It might be useful to think about this as a simulated attack test. #continousdelivery #devops #testing #softwaredelivery

🎯 What is Test Case Design, and Why Is It Crucial for Effective Testing? Test case design is the art and science of creating test cases that ensure your software works as intended. 🛠️ It involves defining specific inputs, execution conditions, and expected outcomes to verify that each feature functions correctly and handles edge cases gracefully. But why is test case design so important? 🤔 ✅ Ensuring Comprehensive Coverage: Well-designed test cases ensure that every aspect of the software is tested, from the most common user scenarios to the rare edge cases. This thoroughness helps catch bugs before they reach your users. 💡 Improving Quality: By carefully designing test cases, you can identify potential weaknesses or vulnerabilities in the software, contributing to a higher-quality product that meets user expectations. 📈 Boosting Efficiency: Good test case design helps testers work smarter, not harder. By focusing on key scenarios and avoiding redundancy, you can make the testing process more efficient and effective, saving time and resources. 🔍 Facilitating Better Communication: Clear, well-documented test cases serve as a communication tool between testers, developers, and stakeholders. They ensure everyone understands what is being tested and why, reducing the chances of miscommunication or missed requirements. 🚀 Supporting Automation: Well-structured test cases are easier to automate, making them a key part of any test automation strategy. This allows for faster, more reliable testing cycles, especially in Agile and DevOps environments. In summary, test case design is the foundation of successful testing. It’s where you lay the groundwork for a thorough, efficient, and effective testing process. Don’t underestimate its power—good test case design is the key to delivering a top-notch product! 💪 #SoftwareTesting #TestCaseDesign #QA #QualityAssurance #SoftwareDevelopment #AutomationTesting #qajobs

Why QA is Critical in CI/CD: Ensuring Quality from Start to Finish As QA, I’ve seen how crucial QA’s role is in Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. In today’s fast-paced development cycles, the goal is to release high-quality software quickly, and QA plays a major part in achieving that. Why QA is Involved: 1. Shift-Left Testing: In CI/CD, we focus on catching bugs early. QA works closely with developers right from the start to ensure quality is embedded in every phase of development. By testing as early as possible, we prevent defects from progressing through the pipeline, saving time and cost. 2. Continuous Feedback Loop: Automated tests run at every stage of integration and deployment. These tests, created and maintained by QA, provide instant feedback on the health of the code. This feedback allows the team to fix issues immediately, keeping the pipeline running smoothly. 3.Maintaining Test Automation: Automation is a backbone of CI/CD. QA develops and maintains automated test suites, ensuring that each code change is validated quickly and thoroughly. This ensures that new features don’t break existing functionality. 4. Ensuring Reliable Deployments: Before any deployment goes live, QA verifies the environment, checks for performance, and runs smoke tests. This makes sure the deployment is stable and performs well in production. 5. Mitigating Risks: With faster release cycles, there’s less room for errors. QA’s role is to identify risks early and ensure they are mitigated before a release happens. This proactive approach leads to fewer issues in production. How QA Does It: * Automated Testing: We write automated test scripts that are integrated into the CI/CD pipeline. These scripts run every time code is merged, ensuring that the code is always tested. * Collaborating with DevOps: QA works hand-in-hand with DevOps to make sure the pipeline is optimized for testing, with the right tools in place to catch errors and ensure smooth deployments. * Manual Exploratory Testing: While automation handles repetitive tasks, QA also conducts manual exploratory testing to find edge cases that automated scripts might miss. In the end, QA ensures that every release is a high-quality release. By being involved in CI/CD, we make sure that speed and quality go hand in hand. #QualityAssurance #ContinuousIntegration #ContinuousDeployment #TestAutomation

Good topic Abhishek Chauhan. I agree and disagree. So, for the last ~10 years (with gaps even more) I have never got my code tested and always had Unit Tests. In some of the organizations like Expedia Group, and Microsoft this was a need (indeed 😁 ). Automation has its use cases but it is not a necessity in every case and SDET vs SDE is something I don't believe in. If it is your code, own the shit. I have written Integration Suites for my bigger projects too. What do you all think? I am up for a discussion on this as it is my favorite topic because of its roots in code quality. #SolidEngineering
