Quality assurance (QA) is a proactive process aimed at ensuring products or services meet defined quality standards and customer requirements. It focuses on preventing defects by building quality into the product from the outset. QA involves various methods and roles depending on the complexity of the task, and it is distinct from quality control, which is more reactive and defect-focused. Adopting standard QA processes like PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) helps organizations deliver consistent high-quality products.
