2,000Wh of power to keep you going

Back in August, I took the BLUETTI EB3A on a road trip through two national parks and five states. It traveled very well and did everything we needed it to do at the time. The EB3A is the smallest portable power offering from BLUETTI at 268Wh with a 600W inverter. BLUETTI offers a few other models that can be considered more portable. The smallest being the EB3A, followed by the EB55 at 537Wh, the EB70S at 716Wh, and the AC200P at 2,000Wh. The BLUETTI AC200P amps up the watts and the inverter and almost crosses the line between portable and stationary. Let’s get to the specs and give you a rundown of this monster portable power station.

Adapting Continuous Testing for a Shift Left Philosophy

In recent years, the software testing landscape has undergone significant transformation to meet the continuously rising demand for high-quality software in a shorter amount of time. Although the waterfall model has historically been used to test software applications, the industry is now searching for alternatives to make release cycles as short as possible. Shift left testing is one of these remedies. 

What Is Shift Left Testing?

Simply put, shifting left refers to the principle of carrying out a task earlier on in a procedure. The practice of pushing all the testing processes of your software to the left in the delivery pipeline or testing your product sooner than is typically done throughout the development lifecycle is called shift left testing.

While there are several advantages to shift left testing, one advantage stands out above the others. You can be almost certain that no severe flaws will remain in your program
