Quality Assurance

Quality assurance (QA) is a systematic process that ensures products, services, or processes meet defined standards and customer expectations. It involves planning, designing and implementing organizational practices – such as process audits, standardized checklists and continuous improvement methodologies – to prevent defects and ensure consistency. Key activities include defining quality requirements, developing test strategies, monitoring performance metrics and conducting root-cause analyses when issues arise. By embedding QA into every project phase – from requirements gathering through delivery – organizations can reduce rework, enhance reliability and boost stakeholder confidence. Effective QA fosters a culture of accountability and continuous learning, driving higher-quality outcomes and long-term operational excellence.
