Software Testing - QA, QC & Testing


Quality Assurance:

  • QA includes activities that ensure the implementation of processes, procedures and standards in context to verification of developed software and intended requirements.
  • Focuses on processes and procedures rather than conducting actual testing on the system.
  • It is a subset of Software Test Life Cycle (STLC).

Quality Control: 
  • It includes activities that ensure the verification of a developed software with respect to documented (or not in some cases) requirements.
  • Focuses on actual testing by executing the software with an aim to identify bug/defect through implementation of procedures and process.
  • QC can be considered as the subset of Quality Assurance.

Testing:
  • It includes activities that ensure the identification of bugs/error/defects in a software.
  • Focuses on actual testing.
  • Testing is the subset of Quality Control.
