Frequently Asked Questions

What is a QA plan?

A QA (Quality Assurance) plan is a document that defines how quality will be ensured throughout a project, product or service. It covers quality objectives, standards, roles, processes, reviews, testing and continuous improvement - making quality intentional rather than accidental.

What should a QA plan include?

A complete QA plan includes quality objectives and standards, roles and responsibilities, quality reviews and audits, testing approach, defect management process, metrics and reporting, continuous improvement process and references to related documents like the test plan and process control plan.

What is the difference between QA and QC?

QA (Quality Assurance) is process-focused - it prevents defects by improving how work is done. QC (Quality Control) is product-focused - it detects defects in the final output through testing and inspection. QA is preventive; QC is detective. Both are needed for high-quality outcomes.

How do you create a QA plan?

Start with quality objectives - what does "good" look like? Define standards, roles and reviews. Document the testing approach and defect management. Set quality metrics. Plan for continuous improvement. Validate the plan with quality leads, engineering and operations before execution begins.

What is the difference between a QA plan and a test plan?

A QA plan is broader - it covers all quality activities, including reviews, audits, testing and improvement. A test plan focuses specifically on testing - what will be tested, how and by whom. The test plan is typically a subsidiary plan within the QA plan.
