It is important for an organization to agree on what the meanings of Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC). Both from an integral part of the organization’s quality management plan, and the effectiveness of delivery teams relies on the differences being well understood by all stakeholders, including management.
Often people would get these two terms mixed up. This ambiguity consistently throws up problems and is a sure way of undermining a project. Projects are negatively affected as it tends to lead to strained conversations and make reaching consensus difficult.

 

Although QA and QC are closely related concepts, and are both aspects of quality management, they are fundamentally differently in their focus:

 

  • + QC is used to verify the quality of the output
  • + QA is the process of managing for quality

 

Here at BBW, with our deep understanding and years of hands-on experience on both QA and QC, we commit to these practices and values for every products and services we deliver.
