What is Shift Right Testing?

 Shift-Right Testing is a testing approach which focuses on gathering feedback from the production environment to improve the current testing process.It is basically performing the testing later once code is deployed in production environment.It is also referred as Testing in Production.

Combining right shit testing and left shift testing can give better results that helps to improve the performance and user satisfaction.This approach is mainly used in Devops. By incorporating real-world feedback and monitoring data, organizations can improve the quality, reliability, and performance of their software applications thus resulting in great user satisfaction.

Benefits of Shift Right Testing:

1.Continuous Improvement: The information gathered through Shift-Right Testing is used to continuously improve the software development process, testing strategies, and overall quality of the application.

2.Production Monitoring: The application is actively monitored in the production environment to detect any anomalies, performance issues, or other issues that might not have been identified during development or traditional testing phases.

3.Feedback: Feedback from end-users and other stakeholders is collected to identify potential issues or areas for improvement. This can be done through feedback channels, customer support tickets, user surveys, or social media monitoring.

Types of Shift Right Testing:

1.Fault Injection Testing:Purposely introducing errors into  software to see how it performs.

2.A/B testing: Two versions of the same features are released to test the responses and identify which version works better.

3.Canary Testing:It is a testing approach in which we test a new software version in production environment by pushing some code changes.
