Why real-world testing matters for global apps

How do you test an app used globally—from rural areas with bad connections to the users in cities with the latest devices?

Why shift-right testing brings real results

Shift-left testing gets all the attention, but it’s shift-right that reveals what truly works. At @BlaBlaCar, Quality Assurance Manager @Rémy Gronencheld explains why testing in production is critical for real-world success: Shift-left: Build with confidence but rely on assumptions. Shift-right: Test against the unpredictable—low connections, real devices, and user behavior. The reality? Combining both approaches lets teams take calculated risks without sacrificing quality.
