Which of the following statements describes the concept of "shift-left"?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The concept of ''shift-left'' means moving testing and validation activities earlier in the work cycle to get faster or continuous feedback. This helps to identify and fix defects, errors, or issues as soon as possible, reducing the cost and risk of rework and delays. Shift-left testing also supports the agile principle of delivering working software frequently and the lean principle of building quality in. By shifting testing left, teams can ensure that the solutions they deliver meet the customer needs and expectations, as well as the quality standards and compliance requirements.Reference:Built-In Quality,Shift Left Testing: What, Why & How To Shift Left,What Executives Should Know About Shift-Left Security,What is Shift Left Security?
