Truly Transformational Shift-Left Proactive Testing

Concepts

"Shift-left" is today's hot buzzword that refers to catching defects earlier when they are easier to fix. Various tools and techniques claim to shift left-somewhat questionably. Most seem to apply the term to executing typical tail-end tests slightly earlier in calendar time by making smaller iterations and automating test execution; but not really moving the tests earlier in the life cycle, which is where the still-eluded big benefits lie. This interactive presentation shows powerful Proactive Testing™ approaches and techniques that truly shift left, enabling not only detection but also prevention of defects far earlier in the life cycle.

• Shift-left's big benefits vs. marginal methods often claimed for it
• Limitations of traditional tail-end reactive testing
• Proactive Testing™ that truly finds and prevents defects earlier in the life cycle
• Both static and dynamic special Proactive Testing™ techniques that truly detect design defects early in the life cycle before they make it into code
