SOFTWARE QUALITY
SOFTWARE QUALITY :
“The degree of conformance to clearly defined and documented or not clearly defined or documented but indirectly suggested business/product/software requirements and end user expectations.”
Experts in various testing, automation and quality assurance methods are in high demand with a great career scope. Institutes offering software testing training in Kerala and selenium training in Kochi have increased precisely due to this increasing demand for testing professionals.

The definition given by ISTQB suggests that :

The definition of software quality is always debatable. Sometimes, the quality cannot be defined and some other times, it can be defined, but only on a particular context. Or sometimes, suggestions comes up like, ‘quality is nothing but the absence of bugs’.
In order to ensure software quality, we undertake Software Quality Assurance and Software Quality Control.
