What’s the real difference between quality control vs quality assurance?
Permalink   
 

I’ve noticed that many people use quality assurance vs quality control interchangeably, but from what I understand they actually represent different concepts.

From my understanding:

Quality Assurance

  • focuses on improving processes

  • prevents defects during development

  • involves standards, guidelines, and reviews

Quality Control

  • focuses on the product itself

  • detects defects through testing

  • ensures the final product meets requirements

 

So essentially QA prevents issues, while QC finds them.
