The Full Form of IPQA is In-Process Quality Assurance.

Quality assurance (QA) is a way of preventing mistakes and defects in manufactured products and avoiding problems when delivering products or services to customers; which ISO 9000 defines as “part of quality management focused on providing confidence that quality requirements will be fulfilled”. This defect prevention in quality assurance differs subtly from defect detection and rejection in quality control and has been referred to as a shift left since it focuses on quality earlier in the process (i.e., to the left of a linear process diagram reading left to right).

Best practices for Quality Assurance:

• Create a Robust Testing Environment
• Select release criteria carefully
• Apply automated testing to high-risk areas to save money. It helps to fasten the entire process.
• Allocate Time Appropriately for each process
• It is important to prioritize bugs fixes based on software usage
• Form dedicated security and performance testing team
