- 1. What is Software Quality Assurance? Software Quality Assurance (SQA) is a set of processes and procedures to ensure that software products meet the required quality standards. The main goal of SQA is to ensure that the software product is of high quality and meets the needs and expectations of its users. SQA involves various activities, such as planning, designing, coding, testing, and maintaining software products. SQA is also concerned with the quality of the development process, ensuring that the software is developed in a systematic and well-structured manner. The SQA process typically involves the following: 1. Planning: Establishing a plan for the development process that includes quality objectives, project scope, and resource allocation. 2. Requirements analysis: Identifying and defining the requirements for the software. 3. Design: Creating a design that meets the requirements and is high quality. 4. Coding: Developing the software code in a structured and efficient manner. 5. Testing: Performing various tests to ensure that the software meets the quality standards. 6. Deployment: Releasing the software to the end-users. 7. Maintenance: Regularly maintain the software to ensure it meets quality standards. By implementing SQA processes, software development organizations can ensure that their software products are of high quality, meet the needs of their users, and are delivered on time and within budget.
