QA & Testing

Quality Assurance (Q/A) and Software Testing play a crucial role in the software development lifecycle, ensuring that products meet the required standards before they reach end-users. Q/A focuses on improving the development process and preventing defects, ensuring that the software is built correctly from the start. It involves defining and maintaining a set of standards and procedures, making sure that every phase of development adheres to these quality benchmarks. Software Testing, on the other hand, is the process of executing code and checking for defects in the application. Testing techniques range from manual testing, where a tester goes through the functionalities of the software, to automated testing, where tools execute pre-scripted tests to validate the system's behavior. Both Q/A and software testing help in identifying bugs, ensuring functionality, performance, security, and usability of the software, ultimately leading to a robust and reliable product for the users.
