It is a generic term that avoids the connotations of conforming to a quality standard.Quality control is specific to operational testing of product production and service delivery. The term stems from various quality standards that developed out of manufacturing quality processes such as testing representative samples off a production line. Quality control can be applied to services but competes with service specific standards such as service management.| Testing vs Quality Control | ||
