Software quality assurance

Software Quality Assurance is like a way of checking that the software we use is working perfectly and that it's safe to use. Software Quality Assurance people work to make sure that the software we use on computers, tablets, phones, and other devices is safe and works like it is supposed to. Quality Assurance people carefully review the software to make sure it looks and works correctly, they also test the software and make sure that the software can do what it is supposed to do without having any errors or problems. Quality Assurance people also look at the code for the software, so that it will run safely and correctly. Quality Assurance people try to spot any issues that could potentially cause problems and then test the software to make sure that it is working correctly. This process helps developers create safer and better software that people can use.
