On: Why we shift testing left: A software dev cycle that doesn’t scale

I believe the article writer is talking about moving QA work to the beginning of a process, not adding unit tests to the front of a pipeline.

Theyre both examples of shifting left, though.

There's always a context contingent cost/benefit trade off, but sometimes converting integration to unit tests is a win.

Yes of course, but your mentioning unit tests in a comment about moving work steps but they are totally different things in this context.
