I’ve always been a great enthusiast for anything related to technology and one aspect of it that always intrigued me was figuring out how to balance the need to deliver new apps and functionalities sooner than later, with the need to provide a unique and quality experience to the users. In summary, how does one maintain speed and deliver higher quality products capable of differentiating their company from the competition?

From the speed perspective, Agile seems to be the well-accepted answer to build teams in such a fashion that they gain autonomy and continuously learn how to improve speed through the delivery of incremental value-added products. On the software quality side of things, for quite a while now, enterprises understand how to benefit from the "Shift-Left” approach for testing and, as a matter of fact, have largely embraced it, in all its shapes and forms (Traditional, Incremental, Agile/DevOps, and Model-Based). A brief search on the web will bring lots and lots of results, with both the challenges of those who had adopted it earlier, as well as with the benefits from those who were able to reduce the number of errors in production with a better, earlier, and more frequent testing strategy.
