Testing is finding bugs. 
QA is to ensure that the product is bug free.

QA is more a preventive thing, ensuring quality in the company and therefore the product rather than just testing the product for software bugs? 
 
TESTING means "quality control" 
QUALITY CONTROL measures the quality of a product 
QUALITY ASSURANCE measures the quality of processes used to create a  
quality product.

"PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURING" 
Quality Assurance is a preventive activity. it concentrate on the whole development process to prevent the bugs. 
 
testing is curing activity. here our main intention is measuring the quality of the product by analysing the program with the end user perception.

The processes releated to QA are work process oriented, whereas the processes releated to Testing are product oriented. 
 
Testing mainly focusses on detection of bugs 
QA gives more emphasis on prevention of bugs. 
 
The output of Testing is often the input to QA.

Testing is based on quality control and quality control is to check the quality of the product. 
Testing mainly focusses on DETECTION 
 
Quality Assurance is quality of a process for an application that is build. QA is a process of  
PREVENTION

QA involves the entire SDLC Process he has to document and evaluate. 
QC is only for detect the defect.

testing is executing of the programme with an intend of finding bugs. 
QA- is preventing of bugs,improving the testing proccess making sure that any agreed upon standards is followed and bugs are found and dealt with.

QA is more interested in the Process whereas Testing is more interested in the Product. 
As rightly pointed out by some people,QA ia oriented towards prevention and testing is oriented towards detection.

QA - Quality Assurance is work process oriented.

       The direct result of the changes in QA leads to changes to the process.

       The results may range from better compliance with the process or entirely new processes.

QC/Testing - Testing work product oriented.

         The direct result of testing is changes leads to changes in the product.

         The result may range from re-developing the product from the design phase.

• Quality Assurance: A set of activities designed to ensure that the development and/or maintenance process is adequate to ensure a system will meet its objectives.
• Quality Control: A set of activities designed to evaluate a developed work product.
• Testing: The process of executing a system with the intent of finding defects. (Note that the "process of executing a system" includes test planning prior to the execution of the test cases.)

Quality Assurance (QA) serves to prevent problems while Testing serves to identify and report defects.  In the software industry, much of the QA effort occurs before the initial build of the software is released to the Test Team while most of the Test effort occurs afterward.

Quality Assurance is about process while Test is about product.
 

An example of a Quality Assurance activity would be to introduce improved standards for peer code reviews in order to help minimize the number and severity of software defects released to the test team.

An example of a Test activity would be to execute test cases in an effort to discover defects so they can get fixed.

Quality Assurance makes sure the project will be completed based on the previously agreed specifications, standards and functionality required without defects and possible problems. It monitors and tries to improve the development process from the beginning of the project to ensure this. It is oriented to "prevention".

Software testing is oriented to "detection". It's examining a system or an application under controlled conditions. It's intentionally making things go wrong when they should not and things happen when they should not.
