Answer / amit b. bhatnagar

Quality Assurance: A set of activities designed to ensure
that the development and/or maintenance process is adequate
to ensure a system will meet its objectives.
Quality Assurance makes sure you are doing the right thing
in the right way.

Software testing is the process used to measure the quality
of developed computer software. Usually, quality is
constrained to such topics as correctness, completeness,
security, but can also include more technical requirements
such as capability, reliability,
efficiency, portability, maintainability, compatibility,
and usability. Testing is a process of technical
investigation, performed on behalf of stakeholders, that is
intended to reveal quality-related information about the
product with respect to the context in which it is intended
to operate.
