For the first time I find myself (TM) in a company where testing and QA seem to be totally seperate. Previously I'vealways thought of them being the same thing, e.g testing with good reporting and continually trying to find ways to improve the testing process.
QA outside of testing just isnt something I've come across, but the past few years i've been in agile environments.
wikipedia: 'Software Testing is a task intended to detect defects in software by contrasting a computer program's expected results with its actual results for a given set of inputs. By contrast, QA (Quality Assurance) is the implementation of policies and procedures intended to prevent defects from occurring in the first place.'
Any thoughts on this, how does QA work generally?
