Quality Control is a part of quality management process which concentrates on fulfilling the quality requirements.
5) Quality Assurance is a set of activities for ensuring quality in the processes by which products are developed.
Quality Control is a set of activities for ensuring quality in product. The activities focus on identifying defects in the actual products produced.
6) Quality Assurance is the process of managing for quality;
Quality Control is used to verify the quality of the output.
7) Quality Assurance develops the quality in the product.
Quality Control checks the Quality of the product.
8) The goal of Quality Assurance is to prevent introducing defects in the PRODUCT which help to improve the development and testing processes.
The goal of Quality Control is to identify the defects in the PRODUCT after it is developed.
9) QA is Pro-active means it identifies weaknesses in the processes.
QC is Reactive means it identifies the defects and also corrects the defects or bugs also.
10) QA - It does not involve executing the program or code.
QC - It always involves executing the program or code.
11) All peoples who are involved in the developing PRODUCT responsible for the quality assurance.
Testing team is responsible for Quality control.
12) Quality Assurance is process oriented.
Quality Control is product oriented.
13) Quality Assurance basically aims to prevention of defects to improve the quality.
Quality Control basically aims to detection of defects to improve the quality.
14) QA - It identifies weakness in processes to improve them.
QC - It identifies defects to be fixed.
15) Verification is an example of Quality Assurance.
Validation/Testing is an example of Quality Control.
16) QA - It is a staff function.
QC - It is a line function.
17) QA - It is done before Quality Control.
QC - It is done only after Quality Assurance activity is completed.
18) Quality Assurance means Planning done for doing a process.
Quality Control Means Action has taken on the process by execute them.
19) Quality Assurance dept. has more concerned about the impurity in the product rather than the purity.
Quality Control dept. has more concerned about the purity in the product.
20) Quality Assurance deals with the Quality of total yield quantity of the product.
