    Quality assurance is defined as all planned and systematic actions needed to provide confidence that a product or service will meet given quality requirements. It focuses on preventing defects by building quality into processes, whereas quality control finds defects through inspections and testing. Quality assurance activities include audits, defining processes, selecting tools, and training to prevent issues. It aims to close the gap between requirements and outcomes through a proactive, preventative approach rather than reactively finding defects like quality control does.
