Answer / alex
QA is nothing but verification.where in focus is giving on
prevention of bugs. Testing is validation where in focus is
given on dectecting bugs.QA and testing have a very
important role in software development life cycle.
To make it more clear here is one example
Assume if a boy studying in 1 std have a aim to be doctor.
then one should make sure. The boy passes all the exams
from 1 to 10. while taking up 11 he should make sure to
take up science rather than arts,commerce. Once this is
done make sure he passes his 12th with good number of marks
and is qualified for entrance exam.finally when he gets
this degress in M.B.B.S . He is a doctor.
Watch. the whole process from 1 to his getting M.B.B.S
degress is nothing but QA that is quality asssurance.
Once the boy is doctor is nothing but Testing. here u r
testing wheather the boy is doctor or not. It is as good as
saying wheather he passed or failed.

Answer / umesh7a
In Short
QA: Prevention of errors
Testing: detection of errors.
In detail
QA is the process to ensure that all the procedures and
standereds are establish and followed throughout the life
cycle.
Testing is the process to execute the system in both
Favorable and unfavorable conditions in order to find the
bugs.
In favorable conditions it produced the correct results and
in unavorable conditions it produced the correct results.
