Shift-Left Testing — Detect issues earlier

The earlier you catch a bug, the cheaper it is to fix.
Sopa brings QA to the start of development, catching issues before they grow.

The problem

Many teams only run QA at the end of the development cycle.
By then:

• Bugs have already propagated through the codebase.
• Fixes require more rework.
• Releases get delayed.

This “test-late” approach increases costs and stress for both dev and product teams.

The solution with Sopa

Sopa enables shift-left testing by:

• Reviewing pull requests as soon as they’re created.
• Comparing changes with product requirements.
• Detecting functional mismatches immediately.
• Providing instant feedback directly in the PR.

This way, bugs are found when they’re cheapest to fix — during development.

Real example

A healthtech startup integrated Sopa into their workflow.
Instead of finding bugs in staging, they caught them in the PR review stage, cutting hotfixes in production by 70%.
