Testing and quality assurance (QA) is an integral part of the software development process, during which versions of a product are examined for bugs, design flaws, and performance quality as a whole. Many mobile app developers and web developers offer testing and QA services as a standard part of the production lifecycle, but businesses can also hire a separate provider for software testing services. Product or development teams within an organization can also perform these tasks in house using mobile app testing or software testing software.
