About the Presentation
"Shift-left" is not a new term; it has been in use for more than 20 years. However, its interpretation varies significantly depending on the individual you speak to. Even within a single team, you may encounter 3-4 distinct, and at times, contradictory definitions.
During this presentation, we will delve into the term's origins in the context of testing, shedding light on its intended meaning as conceived by its author. We will then trace its evolution over the years, exploring the misconceptions that have arisen. Additionally, we will critically examine the arguments presented by its critics.
Last but not least, we will try to find out if it is still possible to find a common definition for shift-left.
