Quality Control (QC)

What is quality control?

Quality Control, abbreviated as QC, is a software engineering technique used to assure product quality. It is not concerned with the manufacturing process. Instead, it assesses the quality and outcome of the ultimate product.

If a problem is discovered, the primary goal of QC is to ensure that the product fulfills the customer's specifications and requirements.
