If you work in software development, you’re well aware of the importance of shifting your testing left. But how do you test smaller chunks of work rapidly and earlier in the SDLC without stressing your internal teams? And why use your highly skilled developers and testers to validate the functionality of new code when their time is better spent on higher value tasks?
Join Applause testing experts Mike Plachta and Michael McKethan as they discuss the challenges of shifting left and innovative new ways to enable teams to eliminate the aggregate impact of manually validating new functionality immediately after a new feature is coded. Further, they will highlight how to ensure the entire in-sprint testing process is done quickly, ensuring that your developers get immediate test results.
