The Importance of Quality Assurance Software Testing

Software Quality Assurance Testing is an integral and critical phase of any software development project. Developers and testers must ensure that newly developed products or product enhancements meet functional and performance requirements and that those products are reliable and able to operate consistently under peak loads. The risks of releasing a product that is not yet ready are greater now than ever before because of the change in expectations and demands of the end users.
According to the Standish group's research report on Project Failure and Success nearly three out of four software projects are either delivered late, over budget or are cancelled before being completed. This is true despite the involvement of experienced managers, developers and testers in the project. This is a problem that continues till date. The anxiety induced by the question "Are we ready to release?" affects every member of the team. Management dreads having to ask it for fear of hearing an unqualified "No" or even worse.
