A Method to Establish concurrent Rapid Development Cycle and High Quality in a Storage Array System Environment

Shift Left is a combination of a change in development and validation approaches and key engineering framework improvements to ensure that each phase of the release process provides a solid foundation for the subsequent phase till final product release. As the name implies, the goal is to move development and validation earlier into the release cycle to ensure content design, development, validation and bug fixes are occurring when the bulk of the Engineering resources are engaged and available. Each release phase is focused on delivering the building blocks for a successful and high quality release. We have adopted industry standard best practices and methodologies to bolster our engineering framework and process to support this transformation. Agile forms the cornerstone of our new content development scrum teams with the goal of maintaining a potentially shippable product early and consistently.
