# quality\_management

## Basic idea

The discipline that defines, plans, and enforces the standards under which software is built. QA + QP + QC.

## Key facts

* QA: organisational standards (process + product).
* QP: pick standards for *this* project.
* QC: verify they were followed.
* V\&V: verification (built it right) + validation (built the right thing).
