Q77 / 100

What is "shift-left testing," and what benefit does it aim to provide?

Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is A) An approach that moves testing activities earlier in the development process (e.g., writing tests alongside or before code, involving QA in requirements discussions), aiming to catch defects sooner when they are cheaper and easier to fix

A

Correct Answer

An approach that moves testing activities earlier in the development process (e.g., writing tests alongside or before code, involving QA in requirements discussions), aiming to catch defects sooner when they are cheaper and easier to fix

Explanation

Defects found earlier in the lifecycle (e.g., during design or coding) are generally far cheaper to fix than those discovered late, after release — shift-left testing aims to capture issues as early as possible.
