Today's smart buyers need assurance that whatever product or service they are buying is worth putting their money in. Without a promise and guarantee, there is no way that organizations can sell what they are offering to customers. That's why organizations develop and implement a policy to ensure products or services go through a stringent quality testing procedure before they are ready for customers to use. By adapting the quality assurance procedure, they ensure that the product or service is designed to meet the performance, functionality, durability, and usability as per customers' expectations. In short, quality assurance is a statement of guarantee that gives customers confidence for buying the product or service.
Quality assurance or quality testing helps organizations in instilling confidence in customers to buy their products or services. It's an activity carried out by quality assurance engineers to ascertain whatever they are trying to offer is designed, built, and thoroughly checked keeping in view its functionality, reliability, durability, and cost. All types of manufacturing, information technology, engineering, textile, pharmaceutical, education, banking, and public industries adapt and follow this activity. The only difference is the quality assurance process that is being followed in each industry. But the main intention regardless of the process remains the same, which is to ensure that the product or service is tested well, and can exceed the necessary quality standards.
