QA testing

Software quality checks

QA testing is the process of systematically checking software or products for defects before release.

QA stands for quality assurance.

Testers simulate user behavior, stress systems, and verify that features work as intended: The app crashed during QA testing.

In software development, QA testing catches bugs that developers miss, though the term applies to manufacturing and other industries as well.
