RESEARCH AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCESS FOR COMPUTER SYSTEM HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

Abstract

In the development of modern computer systems, quality assurance of software and hardware components (Quality Assurance) is a key process aimed at guaranteeing the relia-bility, functionality, and stability of the system throughout its entire lifecycle. Hardware and software solutions integrate software and physical components, leading to more com-plex quality requirements than traditional software.

With the rapid development of modern technologies, manual testing is no longer suf-ficient due to a number of factors, including human error, the large volume of test scenari-os, the diversity of work environments, and the requirement for rapid release of software products. Therefore, automation of quality assurance processes has become not only advis-able but also a prerequisite for improving the efficiency and accuracy of testing.

This paper examines the fundamental theoretical principles of quality assurance for hardware and software systems, their importance, and the design and implementation of an automated quality assurance system using Python, Playwright, and a range of DevOps tools.
