Flashcards covering essential concepts related to Software Quality Assurance techniques and strategies.

Quality Assurance (QA)

A systematic process to ensure the quality of software products through various techniques and processes.

Static Analysis

A method of debugging by examining the code without executing it; often used to catch bugs early.

Dynamic Analysis

An analysis technique where the program is executed with input data to ensure it behaves as expected.

Unit Testing

A software testing method where individual units or components of a software are tested in isolation.

Regression Testing

A type of software testing that ensures that new code changes do not adversely affect existing features.

Fuzz Testing

A testing technique that provides invalid, unexpected, or random data as inputs to a computer program.

Usability Testing

A technique used to evaluate a product by testing it on users to define its ease of use.

A/B Testing

A method of comparing two versions of a web page or product to determine which one performs better.

Severity Levels

Classification of bugs based on their impact on the application; severity 1 represents a critical failure, while severity 4 indicates cosmetic issues.

Zero Defect Memo

A document emphasizing a shift in mindset towards achieving zero defects in software development, focusing on methods rather than people.
