Quality Assurance and Control Concepts

The video tutorial explains the differences between Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) in software testing. QA is a preventative process focused on ensuring that the product meets its requirements, while QC is a corrective process aimed at identifying and fixing defects. The video outlines the processes, activities, and statistical techniques involved in both QA and QC, highlighting their distinct roles in improving product quality. It also discusses the time consumption of each process and provides final thoughts on the importance of understanding these concepts for effective software development.
