A warm welcome to everyone who is reading my blog.
Today this post is going to introduce all to Software Quality Assurance.
Step 1: What is Software?
Software is a group of individual modules that are put together after integration testing is done by the development team. Software is something that cannot be touched or tasted. It is what the business people call as "intangible".
Step 2: What is Quality Assurance and why it is important?
Every commodity manufactured in the industries have some attribute called as Quality. The sales of a particular product in the market depends on this "quality" of the product. For FMCG, this quality has got a particular validity period starting from the Date Of Manufacture till the Date Of Expiry (within which the product has to be consumed, its quality starts degrading after this period).
Similar to other products and FMCG software also has got what we call as quality. But, unlike, what we have discussed above, Software Quality willl not degrade with time. May be a better version of Software with far enhanced features can be introduced in the market, but this in no way affects the quality of the Software that is already introduced.
It is important to understand and use Quality Assurance in a Software, so that it can stand the test- of - time, and it can also be made upward - compatible* . Let us discuss this term in the future posts about software quality. For making the maintenance work of a software lot simpler, in the Software Development Life Cycle it has to made sure at each and every stage that Quality Software that also met the customer requirements is delivered to the customer on time.
** Mistakes found here and there in this post are most welcome to be pointed out and rectified.
