Which of the following best describes a key advantage of applying shift-left testing in the software development lifecycle?
ADelaying testing until after the product is fully developed
BDetecting defects earlier to reduce overall fixing costs
CFocusing only on system-level testing before release
DIncreasing manual testing efforts at the end of development
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand shift-left testing

    Shift-left testing means moving testing activities earlier in the development process.
  2. Step 2: Identify benefits

    Early defect detection reduces the cost and effort to fix bugs compared to finding them later.
  3. Final Answer:

    Detecting defects earlier to reduce overall fixing costs -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Early testing lowers bug fixing cost [OK]
Quick Trick: Shift-left means test early to save cost [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming testing only happens at the end
  • Believing shift-left increases manual testing late
  • Thinking shift-left ignores system testing
