AQA tracks process compliance; QC tracks defect counts and severity
BQA counts bugs found; QC measures process steps
CBoth QA and QC only track customer satisfaction
DQA ignores metrics; QC uses metrics for process improvement
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand QA metrics

    QA metrics focus on how well processes are followed (process compliance).

  2. Step 2: Understand QC metrics

    QC metrics focus on product quality, such as defect counts and severity.

  3. Step 3: Match descriptions to roles

    QA tracks process compliance; QC tracks defect counts and severity correctly matches QA and QC metric usage.

  4. Final Answer:

    QA tracks process compliance; QC tracks defect counts and severity -> Option A

  5. Quick Check:

    QA = process metrics; QC = defect metrics [OK]
Quick Trick: QA measures process; QC measures defects [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Swapping metric focus between QA and QC
  • Assuming both track same metrics
