🧠 Shift-Left Testing - How to do test automation with mock-ups (testing in sprint) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Shift-Left Testing is the make-or-break move that separates software winners from the losers, catching bugs early, slashing development time, and delivering top-notch software quality without breaking the bank. ⬇️


🚀 Introduction to Shift-Left Testing
Instead of waiting until the last minute to test your code, Shift-Left Testing encourages kicking off the testing process right at the beginning of the development cycle. This proactive approach means spotting and fixing issues early on, leading to better software quality and quicker development cycles.


🚀 Benefits Of Implementing Shift Left Testing
-Early Error Detection:
Imagine catching bugs when they're just tiny glitches rather than waiting until they've grown into major headaches. That's the power of starting testing early. It saves you time, money, and a whole lot of frustration.
- Accelerated Time-to-Market:
Who doesn't want to get their awesome software out into the world faster? By weaving testing into your development process from the get-go, you'll get feedback quicker, allowing you to launch your product sooner and stay ahead of the competition.
- Enhanced Software Quality:
Quality matters, right? Of course! Early testing ensures that the code you're writing is top-notch right from the start. That means fewer bugs, happier users, and a more stable product overall.


🚀 The "Extreme" Shift-Left Concept
It might sound confusing initially, but it can radically change how you think about test automation and influence when you can begin testing applications in your daily life. The focus here is on integrating automation as early as the design sketch phase.
This radical approach highlights how the future of software development can be fully automated from the earliest stages. Let's break the boundaries of conventional workflows!


🚀 Automate From The Mock-Up Stage
Our journey through the landscape of "extreme Shift-Left Testing" is not confined to theory. Instead, we delve deep into its practical implementation:


00:00 Capturing the user interface of the sketched home page
00:49 Capturing the user interface of the timetable
01:30 Dropping the test steps
02:42 Run the test case against mock-up
03:00 Update model for final version
05:32 Run the test case against real application - without having to automate again


From the mock-up stage, you can begin automating—even hand-drawn mock-ups can be automated!

Once your website is ready, you can deploy it because your automation is ongoing; you have already automated everything!

Therefore, you no longer need to automate everything at the last minute under time pressure. ⏲️

Instead, you can automate the logic of the test case much earlier.
