I don’t know much about tests.

Sometimes I heard people talking ...the QA team (Quality Assurance)...

As far as I know, QA is an environment and not a team. That’s why I didn’t understand.


Doubts are:

  • Is it right to speak Team of QA?

  • Is there any difference between Test team and Team of QA?

  • If there are differences, what are they?

  • The QA - Quality Assurance - is defined as a set of activities for ensure quality in the development processes - Fountain

  • @Everson It is defined as a set of activities, then one should not call a QA team, right?

  • What they mean is: There is a test team for each environment, by DEV standard (development) is carried out by the team that develops, SIT (Integrated Tests) are carried out by the "Tests" team, and finally there is the QUA test team (Quality)

    QA will analyze several points beyond the simple test. Okay? Good ux? Fun to use? Intuitive? What can I do with this crap delivered by the development team to make it more palatable? Is the manual easy to read? The buttons are with confusing names/icons?

  • Good, @Jeffersonquesado can you answer, please? There also puts the responsibilities of the test team, please :)

Quality Analyst is a professional in the area of SQA, while Test Analyst is a professional in the area of Software Testing.

QAI makes this differentiation, so much so that there is Certified Software Quality Analyst (CSQA), for SQA professionals and Certified Software Tester (CSTE), for Software Testing professionals.

In short, the activities of a Quality Analyst are different from that of the Test Analyst, so they are different positions, although it is common to overlap functions in many companies.

  • Cool! What each one does that differentiates them?

  • Test Analyst: Validates the product Quality Analyst: Validates the entire process involving product creation
