In this episode of Engineering Quality, we explore essential testing strategies for software engineers, focusing on shift-left testing and the automation pyramid. We break down what it means to shift testing earlier in the development process, how engineers can integrate quality into their workflows, and the role of different types of automated tests.
You'll learn:
How shifting testing left improves software quality and speeds up development
The fundamentals of the automation pyramid and how to apply it effectively
Common pitfalls like the “ice cream cone” and “cupcake” anti-patterns—and how to avoid them
Practical steps engineers can take to build a strong testing mindset
