Shift Left, Yes. And Shift Down, Too.

Shift Left, Yes. And Shift Down, Too.

You've heard about shift left. Finding and removing bugs earlier, closer to the point of introduction, makes sense, because it's cheaper to remove bugs earlier and it increases developer productivity by reducing debugging work. However, you should also be looking to shift down, too. Shifting down means introducing fewer bugs to begin with, and, of course, the cheapest bug is the one you don't have to pay to fix because it never existed.
