What is QA (Quality Assurance)? 🧪

Quality Assurance (QA) is the process of making sure a product works the way it should before it reaches users. In software, QA helps catch bugs, errors, and performance issues early, saving time and money.

Why QA is Important ✅

  • Prevents Bugs: Finds issues before customers do.
  • Improves User Experience: Ensures smooth and reliable apps.
  • Saves Cost & Time: Fixing early is cheaper than fixing later.
  • Builds Trust: High-quality products make customers happy.

Types of QA Testing 🛠️

  1. Manual Testing – A person checks the software step by step.
  2. Automation Testing – Scripts and tools test faster and repeatedly.
  3. Performance Testing – Ensures the app runs smoothly under load.
  4. Security Testing – Keeps data safe from hackers.

Key Takeaway 🎯

QA isn’t just about finding bugs—it’s about delivering a reliable, user-friendly product. A strong QA process = happy users + successful product.
