Shift-Left Testing

Find and prevent defects early in the development cycle to save time and reduce costs.

What is Shift-Left Testing?

Shift-left testing is the practice of integrating quality assurance activities earlier in the software development lifecycle. Instead of being a final step, testing happens continuously from the design phase onward. This proactive approach prevents defects, reduces costs, and accelerates development by making quality a shared responsibility.

What We Cover

Static Testing & Requirements Review

Analyzing requirements and design documents to catch logical flaws before any code is written.

API Contract Testing

Testing APIs against a defined contract to enable parallel development of front-end and back-end.

Developer-Led Testing Support

Empowering developers with tools and training to write better unit and integration tests.

Early Automation

Creating automated tests for components and APIs as they are being built, rather than waiting for the UI.

The KualitySoft Way: Our Specialized Process

Embed QA in Design Phase

Our testers participate in design and requirement grooming sessions to provide early feedback on testability and potential user issues.

Promote Test-Driven Development (TDD)

We help teams adopt a TDD or BDD (Behavior-Driven Development) workflow where tests are written before the code.

Integrate into Code Reviews

Our QA engineers participate in code reviews to spot potential quality issues.

Automate at the Lowest Level

We focus on building a strong foundation of fast-running unit and integration tests.

Why KualitySoft?

Prevention Over Detection

Our goal is not just to find bugs, but to help you build a process that prevents them from being created in the first place.

Collaborative Approach

We see quality as a team sport, working closely with developers to make testing a seamless part of the development workflow.

Exponential Cost Savings

Fixing a bug in the requirements phase is exponentially cheaper than fixing it in production. Shifting left delivers a massive ROI.

"The KualitySoft team was instrumental in our product launch. Their attention to detail and transparent reporting gave us the confidence we needed to go live. Highly recommended!"
