Discover the Value of a Shift-Left Approach
for Test Automation
Accelerate the identification of defects and reduce costs by enabling a shift-left approach, which integrates testing earlier in the development process and results in higher quality software and faster product releases.
Shift Left Analysis
Cost of a Defect
Implementation Phase
USD $0
Fixing defects during the implementation phase is least expensive. It typically involves only the developer’s time and requires minimal rework.
Verification Phase
USD $0
Identifying and fixing defects during the verification stage is moderately costly. It requires coordination between developers and QA teams and may lead to potential delays in the testing schedule.
Field Phase
USD $0
Addressing defects out in the field is the most expensive. It impacts customers, necessitating urgent patches, potential recalls, and damage to the product’s reputation.
