product or service

Identifies weaknesses in

processes and improves

them.

Identifies defects for the

primary purpose of

correcting the defects.

Prevents the

introduction of issues or

defects

Detects, reports and corrects

defects

15/18



Evaluates whether quality

control is working for the

purpose of determining

weakness in the process.

Evaluates if the application

is working for the purpose

of determining defect in

the functionalities.

Improves the process that

is applied to multiple

products.

Improves the development

of a specific product or

service.QA personnel should not

perform quality control

unless doing it to validate

quality control is working.

QC personnel may perform

quality assurance tasks if

and when required.15
