What is it?
The maintenance of a desired level of quality in a service or product.
How does it work?
Quality Assurance (QA) refers to the systematic activities implemented in an organization to ensure that the quality standards for a product or service are being met. These activities may include planned systematic actions necessary to provide adequate confidence that a product or service will satisfy the given requirements for quality.
When is it useful?
In a business context, QA involves the process of verifying whether a product or service meets specified requirements. It includes activities that ensure the implementation of processes, procedures, and standards in context to verification of developed software and intended requirements. This could involve conducting audits, performing inspections, and carrying out testing throughout the development process.
Real-World Impact
Take for example a software development company. The QA team within this company would be responsible for setting up the processes, standards, and procedures that the development team would follow. They would also be responsible for conducting audits and inspections at different stages of the development process to ensure that the final product meets the required quality standards.
