Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) are complementary disciplines ensuring a product meets defined standards before reaching customers, with QA focused on process improvement to prevent defects and QC focused on inspecting and testing finished output. These practices are used by manufacturers and software teams alike, employing checklists, testing protocols, and statistical sampling to catch issues early.
