Week6: Shift Left: Testing in the Agile World

In this blog, the author Kishan Sundar explains Agile testing with approach of software testing activities known as “Shift Left”. Agile testing is very important in today’s highly competitive market. With Agile testing product/software are guaranteed for quick release, it also prevents defects and makes room for reassessment and upcoming plans/future of the software. With Agile testing software development occurs in steps known as sprints. Once one sprint is complete another sprint begins. In another words, one sprint leads to another subsequent sprint. The shift left approach in agile testing introduces development and testing happening simultaneously.

Sundar emphasize on the importance of the role of assurance specialists in the agile model. The reason of this emphasize is because of the comprehensive testing and quick release of the product/software. Here are some of the places where assurance specialists have to be involved:

  1. Since early stages of testing, testers are called in for field testing to interact with customer or product owner.
  2. With Shift Left approach of agile testing initial interaction will also involve epic owners and enterprise architect on how the product/software will be rolled out.
  3. There is also interaction with program management to determine timelines and decide, how should the release of software should be managed.
  4. Assurance team and agile team will be both part of the development team. There would be two teams: test developers and code developers.

With shift left approach of the agile testing performance and development is intensify with less defects and better performance.

In memory testing

I really enjoyed this blog because I had never heard of in
memory databases before this. They do however make sense to me. I had always
thought of databases as their own unit, but never really gave much thought to
an in memory one. The fast access for certain programs makes a huge amount of
sense and I can see the uses for them as he gave examples of routing tables and
event poster.
What was interesting is that I can see the use for things
such as router tables, but didn’t give much thought to the testing uses part of
it. Databases can be overwhelmingly large and when it comes to testing, I
imagine that that size comes with a cost, speed. In comes in memory databases
to the rescue. It drastically reduces the time to test because of the speed
that memory works at which in my mind can increase the output of the product
possibly.
I think that if I ever do a lot of testing this is something
that I may indeed try out. You can read more about it here:
