Quality Assurance 

Quality assurance is a method that will help a business ensure that its products meet the quality standards set by the company or the industry. In other words, quality assurance is a company’s process for improving the quality of their products. It is a promise of many businesses to internal stakeholders and customers that the company will deliver high-quality products that will eventually have a positive user experience.

Well, in the last article, we talked about quality control. However, there is a difference between quality assurance and quality control. The assurance is a broad process that will prevent quality failures. The QA team is involved in all the stages of product development: production, testing, packaging, and delivery. Quality control is a short process. It will focus on detecting issues or errors or any missed requirements in the product. The assurance team should work proactively from start to end. The reactive quality control team will check for issues or problems with the product.
