Quality Assurance:
In developing products and services, quality assurance is any systematic process of checking

companies have a separate department devoted to quality assurance. A quality assurance
system is said to increase customer confidence and a company's credibility, to improve work
processes and efficiency, and to enable a company to better compete with others. Quality
assurance was initially introduced in World War II when munitions were inspected and tested
for defects after they were made. Today's quality assurance systems emphasize catching defects
before they get into the final product.

by the scissors in some cases.
