Benefits of quality control in software products
There’re multiple benefits to including the QA process within the development team, keeping in mind that not everything related to software quality is incidents or test cases. Some of them are:
Maintain a good user experience: By carefully testing a project, those details or incidents that can cause failures or slowness in the application will be revealed, which would affect the user experience and result in their discontent.
Save time and money: It’ll always be more convenient to detect incidents in early stages of development, this will avoid reprocessing during the project life cycle.
Customer satisfaction and trust: When carrying out the testing process to guarantee the quality of the project, the main objective will be to deliver functional products when they are required, guaranteeing positive experiences for both the client and the end user.
Reasons from having a QA in your development team

- Confidence regarding the quality level of the delivered product
- Value-added deliveries for the user
- Lower costs
- Avoid rework during the development stages of the project
