Shift-Left QA Infra Upgrade (Enhancement)
In brief: Shift-left upgrade moves teams from main-only testing to branch previews, PR SmartTests, exploratory runs, and Git-synced plans with agent orchestration.
Enhancement that can be added to:
Core outcome: Moves E2E test execution before code lands on the main branch so regressions are caught at PR merge time.
| Guide price | USD 5,000 |
| Typical duration | ~3 weeks |
What you get
- E2E tests run pre-merge on pull requests—regressions surface before code reaches main.
- Preview URL deployment integrated with your pipeline, using either:
- Ephemeral backend stack for full isolation, or
- Shared non-production backend for faster feedback (tradeoffs discussed during scoping).
When to add it
Best combined with QA Infra Bootstrap when you want the bootstrap engagement to explicitly include shift-left CI and environment strategy—not only tests on main or nightly runs.

FAQ
What problems does shift-left solve?
Late regressions, untested PR diffs, and disconnected plans—replaced by branch CI and ExploreChimp on preview URLs.
Do we need Bunnyshell?
Any preview env provider works; Bunnyshell is documented for ephemeral full-stack URLs.
Can we keep existing Playwright tests?
Yes—upgrade adds TestChimp reporter, scenario links, markScreenState, and /testchimp commands incrementally.
