A Software Quality Analyst is a professional responsible for ensuring that software products meet specific quality standards before they are released. They design and execute tests to identify bugs or issues, ensuring that the software functions correctly and meets user requirements. Their work helps improve the overall user experience and reduces the risk of software failures. In addition to testing, Software Quality Analysts often collaborate with developers and project managers to understand project requirements and provide feedback on potential improvements. They may also create documentation and reports to track testing results and communicate findings to the development team.
