So what is Quality Control? What are the objectives?

\"\"Let’s just say Quality Control is like a person that checks on your stuff to make sure it is working except that this person checks in different stages.  A better way of define it, is the set of procedures used by organizations to ensure its software products will meet the expectations of the end-users, and to provide feedback to improve the software quality in the future.  A good Quality Control will prevent unnecessary support calls by keeping defect rates to the minimum.

  1. Basic Requirement Testing – ensuring the software works as expected.
  2. Performance Testing – does the software performs at a reasonable speed?  Performance may be an indicator to poor programming codes or database that is not optimized or tuned.
