But as the time passed on, the information technology has grown as a very critical and an essential tool playing a very defining and an important role to out – perform the various business rivals.

Failure of the soft ware’s can very largely affect the different parts of the society – and ultimately through the different routes, there affects are able to reach the people who are using these soft ware’s directly or in directly.

The software quality assurance is mainly required for the following reasons –

1. In order to provide the legal liability, if in any type of the case the failure of the software takes place.

2. In order to prove that the software being used was developed with the help of some of the best practices and techniques embodied in the various standards. But all this can be proved only with the help of some of the required documents.

3. Bringing into play the cost – effectiveness of the software development.

4. Convincing the users about the facts of the developer like if the developer is having a good satisfactory software quality assurance program in place.

5. Shifting the mind – set of the user or the client from the customer satisfaction to the customer delight to the customer LUV and also ensuring side –by –side, the very important – the customer loyalty.
