Quality Assurance (QA)

Quality Assurance (QA) is a systematic approach in software development aimed at ensuring the final product meets expected standards of quality and performance. It involves proactive planning, process monitoring, and various testing techniques to prevent defects and improve the development workflow. QA includes tasks like requirement analysis, test case design, functional testing, and bug tracking.

Unlike quality control, which focuses on identifying issues in finished products, QA works throughout the development cycle to enhance reliability. By implementing QA practices, teams can deliver stable, user-friendly software, reduce future maintenance costs, and build greater trust with users and stakeholders.
