What does it really mean to shift left, and are we overburdening our developers in the process?
In this episode, Jason Baum, Marcus Merrell, and Evelyn Coleman sit down with David Morgenthaler, a Software Engineering Manager at Indeed, to explore the real-world implications of shift-left testing. Together, they dissect the challenges of integrating continuous quality into CI/CD workflows and the potential pitfalls of placing more responsibility on developers' shoulders.
You’ll learn how tools like static analysis and AI are reshaping the software testing landscape, and whether they truly simplify or complicate the developer's day-to-day. With practical examples, they examine the fine balance between speed and quality in software delivery. Listen to discover how Indeed is navigating these challenges and what it means for the future of software testing.
