Quality Assurance and Control

Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) are processes used to ensure products or services meet specific standards. QA focuses on preventing defects through planned activities and systematic processes during development, ensuring quality from the outset. QC, on the other hand, involves inspecting and testing the final output to identify any defects and ensure they meet required specifications. In essence, QA is about building quality into the process, while QC is about identifying and fixing issues before products reach customers. Together, they help ensure reliability and satisfaction.
