  Software Quality Assurance has two faces ie Quality Assurance and Quality Control. Let's find out the Similarity and difference between QA and QC.
  
  Quality Assurance (QA): IT is a set of activities define to ensure that maintenance work is fully sufficient and thus system will meet its targets defined and all requirements are fulfilled. It emphasize on quality of work to be produced, to achieve quality throughout the cycle and thus preventing defects. Thus we can say that it is a preventive process for entire life cycle. All the methodologies, standards and norms defined for a process are e.g. of QA to ensure that proper requirements are defined at each level. QA analyst will make a test plan which will be based on the requirements of a customer wherein a QC will aim to make sure that product meets the requirement which is defined in a test plan set by QA analyst. QA is part of the quality management to assure the quality. It is process based and we can say it is process oriented.QA emphasis on defect prevention.
  
  Quality Control (QC): It is to check whether the product is as per specification or not. It emphasize on finding the defects in the software. Testing is an e.g. of QC activity and thus we can say that it is a corrective process. It is basically defect detection, where engineer is responsible to ensure the quality of the product. It is more of product base and we can say product oriented where QC engineer emphasize and responsible for the product- to make sure that all the requirement of the customer (which is available in quality plan by QA engineer) are met by the product by finding defects.
