Shift-left CI quality gates

Quality checks that run in minutes on every change, instead of weeks later in system testing.

We move quality checks earlier in the pipeline: static analysis, contract tests between services and security scans run on every change, with clear pass rules. Developers get fast feedback in the pull request, and fewer defects reach system testing.

Security scans in the pipeline can produce the secure development evidence asked for under the UAE Information Assurance Regulation and NCA ECC, without a separate manual review.

What the work involves

  • Quality gates

    Pass rules for coverage, static analysis and test results, agreed with the teams that work with them.

  • Contract testing

    Tests between services that catch breaking interface changes before integration.

  • Pipeline security scans

    Dependency, secret and code scans that report in the pull request, not weeks later.

  • Quality in the pipeline

    Tests run automatically on every change, with results visible to the whole team.

  • Measures that matter

    A short set of quality measures, reported the same way for every release.

When to move checks earlier

It pays off when most defects are found late and fixing them holds up releases.

  • Most defects are found in system or user acceptance testing.
  • Services break each other's interfaces after deployment.
  • Security findings arrive after the code has been released.
