“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 daily development tasks, such as automated code checks, static analysis, and continuous integration pipelines. Attendees will discover how to foster a quality-focused culture within digital teams to deliver more reliable and accessible experiences.
