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.

Quality Assurance can assure that minimum standard of quality are being attained by the production process.
Quality is determined by the product users or customers. Low priced product can also be considered having high quality.
It is not always like expensive product is of high quality.

Hi All,

The drivers for improving performance in IT are the quality assurance(Q/A) and quality control(Q/A) (testing) professionals.

Testing is a Quality Control Activity.
Many “quality assurance” groups, in fact, practice quality control. Quality
methods can be segmented into two categories: preventive methods and detective methods.
Quality has two working definitions:
.Producer’s Viewpoint – The quality of the product meets the requirements.
. Customer’s Viewpoint – The quality of the product is “fit for use” or meets the
customer needs.

Quality Assurance
Quality assurance is a planned and systematic set of activities necessary to provide adequate confidence that products and services will conform to specified requirements and meet user needs.
Quality assurance is a staff function, responsible for implementing the quality policy defined through the development and continuous improvement of software development processes.

Quality Control
Quality control is the process by which product quality is compared with applicable standards, and the action taken when non conformance is detected. Quality control is a line function, and the work is done within a process to ensure that the work product conforms to standards and requirements.
