What are some typical QA techniques and best practices?
Software Inspection – Inspecting software requirements, design and code is perhaps the most effective way to find defects early. Identifying root causes of problems, reducing defect injection and early project team engagement are other benefits of software inspection. QA Planning – Determines what is required to ensure all software quality requirements will be met on time and within budget. QA planning also defines test strategies and how resources will be utilized. Test Automation – Systems that automatically run product functionality and report inconsistencies to reduce repetitive testing tasks and standardize results. Automation systems are also used to verify functionality after product changes occur. Defect Tracking and Metrics – Tracking defects and reviewing metrics ensures efficient processing of software issues and promotes well-informed decision making. Analyzing defect trends and source code changes provides critical insight to determine whether projects are on track or need
