Security & Quality Assurance (QA) is the practice of ensuring software meets high standards for reliability, functionality, and protection against vulnerabilities.
This dual focus ensures that not only does the product work as intended, but it’s also safe from threats like data breaches, injection attacks, and misconfigurations. QA teams collaborate with security teams to test both functional behavior and security posture.
Modern QA strategies often include static code analysis, penetration testing, automated test suites, and compliance checks — all of which are integrated into CI/CD pipelines for continuous assurance.
When security is baked into the development lifecycle (also known as shift-left security), organizations catch issues earlier, reduce risk, and build more resilient products.
