Today’s show is bittersweet as we bid farewell to our beloved co-host, Evelyn Coleman. She’s been instrumental in shaping our conversations and challenging our perspectives. We’ll reflect on Evelyn’s impact on the podcast, share lessons from her career, and discuss the ways automated testing is about so much more than just code. Press play for an episode of insights, farewells, and of course, a little humor.

Shift-left is a great solution… in an ideal world. The reality is, developers don’t have time to add testing to their plates. Rushing through both development and testing is a recipe for bugs to pop up down the road.

We don’t write tests for next week. We write tests for 6 months from now.

To shift or not to shift – that is the question. If you’ve been around the software development world lately, you’ve likely heard of shift-left – the practice of integrating testing, security, and operations early in the software development lifecycle to detect issues early. This approach is meant to be a win-win-win – saving time, money, and headaches. But is it as great in practice as it sounds in theory? In this episode, we debate the real-world benefits of shift-left and get to the heart of the issue: testing well.
