Relationships and Overlaps (Quality Control and Software Testing)

Quality Control includes Software Testing​

  • Quality Control is about making sure the finished software meets quality standards, and testing is the main activity used to check if the software works correctly and is free of defects. So, software testing is one of the main tools used in Quality Control.

Quality Control focuses on the Product, Testing does the checking​

  • Quality Control focuses on the final product (the software) to ensure it’s working properly.

  • Software testing is the process within Quality Control that checks the software, runs it through various scenarios, and finds bugs or problems.

Quality Control finds and fixes Problems​

  • Software testing is the method used to find those issues. Once testing identifies bugs or errors, the Quality Control process ensures they are fixed to improve the overall quality of the software.

Overlap​
