In this blog post we will see Key differences between QA, QC and testing in brief. Many testers are skeptical between the terms QA, QC and Testing.
Quality Assurance (QA) – A set of activities designed to ensure that the development and/or maintenance process is adequate to ensure a system will meet its objectives.
Quality Control: A set of activities designed to evaluate a developed work product. These activities can always include the audits conducted by the QA team to assess the cost of correcting defects, documentation etc.
Testing: Finding defects by executing a system/software. (Note that the “process of executing a system” includes test planning prior to the execution of the test cases.)

Why should software be tested?
- To trace out bugs( all software problems).
- To check whether the software meets the customer needs and conforms to the standards.
- Testing looks at areas such as performance, stability and error handling by setting up test scenarios under controlled conditions and assessing the results.
