There is a radical transformation taking place leading to increased productivity – whatsoever field it may be and enhanced satisfaction at all levels. At such a crucial stage, one area that plays a pivotal role in the success of any software application development is Software quality assurance. Having quality controls all over the project, at various phases and levels is a sure shot way to ensure that the project reaches it goal seamlessly, without any hindrances, and is able to satisfy its clients with utmost business requirement fulfillment.
