Quality Assurance is present in every industry. Let’s talk about how it is included in the Software Development industry. Software Testing is part of the Quality Assurance process. Software testing is the process of testing the functionality and requirements of an application.

As a Quality Assurance Engineer it’s your job to test the software application. Testing software is done by executing tests known as test cases to ensure that the product does what it is expected to do. Software is created to serve a purpose. When you go to the store to buy a piece of software you have a purpose in mind. That purpose could be to check and create email, do your taxes, write letters, send a fax, calculate numbers, surf the internet, teach a skill, to play a game, or even to check for viruses in your computer, etc. Your job is to make sure that the software application meets the expectations of the target users, and just as important, runs and works without errors or flaws. Everything runs on software from ATMs, to soda machines, and even household microwaves. Before you can market your software application, you need to know it’s free from bugs, glitches and oversights.
