    Testing involves operation of a system or application under controlled conditions and evaluating the results. It is oriented to 'detection'. Software QA involves the entire software development PROCESS - monitoring and improving the process, making sure that any agreed-upon standards and procedures are followed, and ensuring that problems are found and dealt with. It is oriented to 'prevention'.

    Hey everyone! 🌟

    I came across this question about the difference between QA and testing, and I thought I’d jump in with my two cents. Personally, I believe that QA (Quality Assurance) and testing go hand in hand but have distinct roles. QA is more about ensuring that the entire development process follows established quality standards and practices, while testing focuses specifically on evaluating the functionality and performance of the software.

    Now, let’s talk about the exciting intersection of AI and test automation! 🚀 AI in test automation: futuristic challenges. With the power of AI, we can enhance test coverage, improve accuracy, and accelerate the testing process. However, it also presents us with new complexities, such as training AI models, handling large data sets, and ensuring AI-driven tests are reliable and maintainable.

    Overall, it’s an intriguing time for the testing community as we explore the potential of AI in test automation. Let’s embrace the challenges and continue to push the boundaries of software quality together!

    Hay to everyone and happy testing! 🤗

    Hi

    From my point of view, Testing means make sure the application is work as it is expeted or not. Quality means make sure application code is followed the best practices to code or to log the error information or not.
