 <p><br>
 <h3>QA - Quality Assurance</h3>
 <p>Quality assurance (QA) in software is a field of computer science that includes techniques and processes to assure the quality of software and the processes around software development. Quality assurance also includes the verification that the original software specification for a given piece of software is implemented as documented in the specification of the software.
 <p>Testing in software is a field of computer science that includes techniques and processes to conduct the software development process by testing it on different levels like automated testing, manual testing or testing on code level (eg. by doing unit tests). Testing often uses techniques which are normally used by programmers like debugging.
