Answer Posted / mini patil
QA,QC AND TESTING are closely related, but they are
different concepts.
These three are useful in manageing the risk of the
developing and managing software.
Quality Assurance: A set of activities designed to ensure
that the development and/or maintenance process is adequate
to ensure a system will meet its objectives.
Quality Control: A set of activities designed to evaluate a
developed work product.
Testing: The process of executing a system with the intent
of finding defects.
QA activities ensure that the process is defined and
appropriate.
QC activities focus on finding defects in specific
deliverables.
Testing is one example of a QC activity, but there are
others such as inspections
Testing therefore is product oriented and thus is in the QC
domain
