概述
Software Quality Assurance (QA) is a structured process to ensure that software products meet defined quality standards. It encompasses all activities focused on preventing defects, improving performance, and validating that the product behaves as expected under different conditions.
Key Components
- Planning: Define quality standards, test strategies, and acceptance criteria
- Execution: Perform manual and automated tests across environments
- Monitoring: Track bugs, performance, and usability issues
- Reporting: Deliver clear feedback and documentation for engineering teams
