A Strategic Playbook for a Shift-Left Transformation

As engineering organizations scale their product lines, a common pattern emerges: Cycle times start to increase. In many cases, after analyzing the software development life cycle, a common culprit is identified: A sequential model where code development, manual validation/testing and test automation happen in distinct phases. This approach inherently delays the creation of regression suites and slows the overall release cadence.

Adopting a “shift-left” philosophy addresses this challenge directly. It enables the parallelization of…
