Quality assurance is a process that ensures the application of measures that minimize errors or defects in products and services. You will audit the company’s systems for deficiency identification, correction, or prevention of problems. Another important aspect of QA is continuous improvement where you assess customer requirements against existing standards to determine if these needs are being met by current processes/procedures/workflows etc., If not then improvements must be made to ensure customer satisfaction.
