We recently offered our readers the opportunity to blog about software quality and software testing. Several of you have started your own blogs and are off to a great start. If you haven't been reading our IT blogs, you're missing out on some great content. We've gathered a few selections below. Enjoy.
Software Quality Assurance
Sometimes it isn't clear when designing a new application just which of a multitude of possible
approaches to the design represents the "best" approach. Sometimes it may not just be the
application design, but also choosing the "right" tool to accomplish the task(s) to be
executed.

the best application design approach
Any software development or quality assurance manager wants to see the maximum of software
defects avoided at the earlier stages of the SDLC. I guess service engineering managers are among
the happiest software managers in the world. That's because detecting FI situations is done at the
feature design time. So, the process is part of the SDLC.

Like other living things, software QA processes evolve over time. From its humble beginnings,
test automation has undergone a similar transformation. Here's an overview.

To ensure complete coverage of software testing, testing teams must be careful about certain
activities that are part of the process. If the software testing is not complete as per the
business and customer requirements, it could have a severe adverse effect during or post
implementation of the software at the customer site. The greater the coverage, the less chance of
any bugs passing to the implementation phase.

ways to ensure complete coverage of software testing
Testing is a process of facilitating development team/project teams in improving the quality of
software before it is released to the customer for use. Testers must always follow some essential
steps during software testing to streamline the process. In my opinion, here are the most important
checkpoints for testers during software testing.
