Introduction
The world became progressively dependent on technology and the software automatically became an important aspect of development.
For a decade now, we are building different Software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications. Throughout our journey, we have experienced different scenarios which lead us to develop more efficient products.
Besides planning, analyzing and designing, quality assurance and quality control play a significant role in the software development process.
