Software quality assurance: A process used to ensure that software meets certain standards of quality and functionality. It is used throughout the development and testing of software to identify and fix defects before the software is released to users. Examples of software quality assurance include running automated tests on new code to ensure it meets standards, conducting user acceptance testing to ensure the software meets business requirements, and conducting code reviews to identify potential issues.
