QA
(Quality assurance)
Checking that work and processes meet agreed quality standards before release or acceptance
What's it for?
Makes sure work meets agreed quality standards before it is accepted or released.
For example…
A team defines entry criteria for release, runs regression checks, and records sign-off before production deployment
QA defines the checks and evidence required before a release can be approved rather than relying on developers simply saying the feature works
Think of it like…
Quality check on a production line — catching issues before the product reaches the customer
