One of the main reasons for shift-left testing is to address defects as early as possible in the development process. According to a study by the IBM Systems Science Institute<ref>{{cite book |last1=IBM Systems Science Institute |title=The impact of defects on productivity |date=2004 |publisher=IBM}}</ref>, the cost of fixing defects increases dramatically as they move further along in the development lifecycle. In fact, the cost of fixing defects during production can be up to 100 times more expensive than if the defect had been caught during the requirements phase.
Another reason for shift left testing is to [https://www.lambdatest.com/learning-hub/shift-left-testing increase collaboration and communication] between different teams involved in software development. By catching defects early, development teams can work more closely with other stakeholders, such as testers and business analysts, to identify and resolve issues before they become more difficult to fix.
Overall, shift-left testing helps organizations improve the quality of their software, reduce development costs, and shorten the time to market. By catching defects early in the development process, organizations can avoid costly rework and improve the overall success of their software projects.
