Quality Assurance versus Quality Control

From Jason Yip blog

Quality Assurance (QA):
The design and implementation of processes (roles + activities) to ensure quality in a system/product/service.

Quality Control (QC): The design and implementation of processes (roles + activities) to verify the quality of a system/product/service.

QA = prevent defects; QC = detect defects
