why exactly we need qa(quality analyst)?what is the diff
btw quality analyst qnd quality assurance?

Answer Posted / kashmirkhan44

A Software Quality Analyst is responsible for applying the
principles and practices of software quality assurance
throughout the software development life cycle.

The role of a software quality analyst is often confused
with the software testing role. Most software companies
designate software testing as software quality assurance,
whereas these roles are different.[1] Software Testing is
product oriented, Software Quality Assurance is process
oriented.

Software Quality Assurance Engineer / Software Quality
Analyst / Process Consultant.
