What Is Quality Assurance?
Design or use checks that provide confidence that a product, service, process, or output will meet defined requirements.
Why Does Quality Assurance Matter?
Quality Assurance matters because it focuses on preventing recurring quality problems rather than relying only on final inspection.
What Does It Look Like?
Someone applying quality assurance may:
- •defines quality criteria before work begins
- •builds checks into the process rather than waiting until the end
- •tracks recurring defects to identify preventive action
- •reviews whether the quality system itself is working
How to Develop Quality Assurance
You can develop it by:
- •write acceptance criteria for a real output
- •identify one recurring defect and trace where in the process it could be prevented
- •test a checklist with several examples and remove checks that do not detect meaningful problems
