Shift Left (Courtesy BMC)

Shift left is a software testing approach where software testing is performed (moved or shifted) to the left / earlier in the Life-cycle. This basically is "Test Early and Test Often".



  • In the Traditional Model, requirements and design happen to the left, and testing of those requirements to the right. As the project progresses, the testing effort increases.
