Hi Community members, :wave:

QA (Quality Assurance) has grown in importance for software and apps development businesses in the last five years. This has led to debates about shifting development and testing left or right. But they missed another aspect: “shift-up”, which involves listening to and serving your customer.

By embracing “shift-up” and using AI-driven testing in a robust QA framework, you can satisfy both customer and business needs, gaining a competitive edge. It’s important to value and acknowledge every customer’s feedback.

Join our webinar for the insights of:

  • Exploring different dimensions of shift-up testing (e.g., usability, performance, security).
  • Identifying the synergies and interconnections between shift-left, shift-right, and shift-up, and how they fit into the QA cycle.
  • Best practices for capturing user feedback and monitoring system behavior.
  • Aligning testing efforts with business goals and user experience.

I guess shift-up is still too new. Only Amar seemed to come close in his description.

Katalon’s TestOps features are obviously meant for testers, their managers and onward, up through the business hierarchy. But Shift-up should include users (i.e. Humans), their managers, the heads of client organization tasked with understanding and validating a software purchase (the AUT).

Shift-up is about satisfying the needs of customers beyond the point at which regular testing solutions interact with the AUT. The needs of individual users, the needs of groups of users, are many and varied. Humans have emotions, different (dis)abilities, different mental needs unaddressed by current testing solutions. They all tend to work from an “idealized-user” point of view → robotic users that care nothing about how users feel about the AUT.

Shift-up will (has to) address that.

The only way I see this working is with AI. A suitable AI-based solution will analyze telemetry data gathered from AUT production code (as I said in the webinar, that’s a massive dataset) and reveal areas where REAL HUMAN USERS are “failing” or unable to use the application as designers/programmers intended.

That, is Shift-up.

That’s a good observation @Russ_Thomas
We could have come up with a better example.
