Abstract:
One essential step in the software development lifecycle is software quality assurance, or SQA,
which verifies that the programmed complies with standards and specifications. Enhancing
software quality through methodical observation and assessment of the development process is
the main objective of SQA. A variety of techniques and procedures, including quality planning,
control, and improvement, are used in this. Requirements analysis, code inspections, design
reviews, testing, and maintenance are all included in SQA. By putting SQA techniques into
practice, businesses may lower defect rates, guarantee dependability, and provide software that
meets user expectations. Including automated technologies and adhering to international
standards enhances the efficacy and efficiency of SQA procedures even further. Time and
resources are saved when problems are found and fixed early in the development cycle thanks to
automated testing technologies. Respecting guidelines like ISO/IEC 25010 guarantees that
software solutions are assessed to internationally accepted criteria for quality. Pipelines for
continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) are essential for preserving code quality since
they automate the testing and deployment procedures. To make sure that established procedures
and standards are being followed, SQA also entails routine audits and assessments. These
exercises assist in pinpointing areas that require enhancement and cultivate a culture of
excellence within the development team. Strong, dependable, and easy-to-use software that
satisfies user requirements and corporate objectives is the result of employing effective SQA
procedures, which also raises customer satisfaction and trust levels.
