Learning DevOps made Easier

Generally whenever we talk about  Devops , we are mostly focussed on faster and continuous deployment, automation and monitoring the system for errors and failures. At times, what we often tend to neglect is the “ Testing ” part of a Devops implementation. So today I am going to discuss a bit about the “Left Shift” principle and how to do it in Devops way.
