Though controversial, software testing may be viewed as an important part of the software quality assurance (SQA) process. In SQA, software process specialists and auditors take a broader view on software and its development. They examine and change the software engineering process itself to reduce the amount of faults that end up in the delivered software: the so-called defect rate.<\/p>\n

What constitutes an “acceptable defect rate” depends on the nature of the software; A flight simulator video game would have much higher defect tolerance than software for an actual airplane.<\/p>\n

Although there are close links with SQA, testing departments often exist independently, and there may be no SQA function in some companies.<\/p>\n

Software testing is a task intended to detect defects in software by contrasting a computer program’s expected results with its actual results for a given set of inputs. By contrast, QA (quality assurance) is the implementation of policies and procedures intended to prevent defects from occurring in the first place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
