Shifting Left: Incorporating Testing Early in the Development Lifecycle

Michael Miles

Michael Miles

Director of Web Development at MIT Sloan

“Shifting left” means integrating testing and quality checks from the very start of a project, rather than near the end. This approach helps detect issues sooner, reduces rework, and improves overall quality—an especially important factor in higher ed digital projects with multiple stakeholders. In this session, we will demonstrate practical ways to embed testing into the full web development life cycle. From planning, design, development, qa and deployment.  Attendees will discover how to foster a quality-focused culture within digital teams to deliver more reliable and accessible experiences.

  • Audience level: Intermediate
