Software quality assurance (SQA) is a set of methodologies and practices used to deliver high-quality software to end users. QA is not about detecting bugs, but rather focuses on quality as a specific mindset, one that leads to the development of quality software. QA requires constant effort, and from this point of view differs substantially from quality control, a one-time action.

The difference between Quality Assurance and Quality Control in software development

Quality should be a habit for every organization, no matter the industry. If you deliver products or services, the quality level is something you should constantly monitor. The major components of quality management are Quality Assurance and Quality Control. These terms are often confused with one another and hence, used interchangeably. However, there are a number of distinctions between the two. Let’s explain the difference between Quality Assurance and Quality Control. Quality Assurance is the part of quality management that is focused on providing confidence that all quality requirements are fulfilled.

What is software testing and why is it important for the SDLC

Developing any application is a long-term process engaging the whole team. After months of intensive work, everyone eagerly awaits the results—both your team and your client. You’re planning to release the product to a deadline—that’s obvious. Keeping errors to the bare minimum throughout the application development process helps you meet the deadline. There will definitely be errors—we are all human after all, and mistakes are inevitable—but effective use of software testing helps to limit such unpleasant surprises.

It is probably the cloud that first comes to mind when you think about the architecture of modern services. It is an obvious choice for building large, distributed systems from scratch, as well as for the many enterprises migrating their infrastructure and services to the cloud. It is all very appealing, and modern, and intelligent. But that does not mean there are not serious challenges in going cloud. How should the infrastructure in use be tested? How can network performance be measured reliably in a cloud environment?
