Software quality assurance (SQA) is a process that ensures that developed software meets and complies with defined or standardized quality specifications. SQA is an ongoing process within the software development life cycle (SDLC) that routinely checks the developed software to ensure it meets desired quality measures.
In a broader sense, SQA incorporates and implements software testing methodologies to test software. Rather than checking for quality after completion, SQA processes test for quality in each phase of development until the software is complete.
With SQA, the software development process moves into the next phase only once the current/previous phase complies with the required quality standards. These standards include the ISO 9000 and capability maturity model integration (CMMI)

SQA has a host of benefits. It ensures that that software built as per SQA procedures are of specified quality. SOA helps to
- Eliminate errors when they are still inexpensive to correct
- Improves the quality of the software
- Improving the process of creating software
- Create a mature software process
Job seekers looking to find employment in IT or software testing and quality assurance department of various software development companies in public or private sector, students generally wanting to improve their skill set and make their CV stronger and existing employees looking for a better role can prove their employers the value of their skills through this certification.
Software Quality Assurance professionals are in great demand. Companies specializing in development and testing of software are constantly hiring knowledgeable software quality assurance professionals.
On successful completion of the course and course requisites, candidate will receive Software Quality Assurance certification.
