• Consider shifting your testing activities

  • shift left in "requirements"

    • quality gates

    • PM, JTBD

  • shift left in your development process

    • test the feature you are working on (acceptance tests)

    • test your system (regression testing)

  • shift right your delivery process

    • observe production

• Consider the running tests

  • Keep tests small and atomic (but not too small).

  • Keep on running the Test Case(s) for the feature under development.

  • Keep on running Development Test Suite(s) for regression testing.

  • Keep on running Production Test Suite(s) for observability, telemetry and monitoring.

• Consider automating your testing activities
