Quality Assurance activities
- by MasloIed
Having asked but deleted the question as it was a bit misunderstood. If Quality Control is the actual testing, what are the commonest true quality assurance activities? I have read that verification (reviews, inspections..) but it does not make much sense to me as it looks more like quality control as mentioned here:

Verification - “Are we building the product right?” Verification is a
quality control technique that is used to evaluate the system or its
components to determine whether or not the project’s products satisfy
defined requirements. During verification, the project’s processes are
reviewed and examined by members of the IV&V team with the goal of
preventing omissions, spotting problems, and ensuring the product is
being developed correctly.
Some Verification activities may include
items such as: • Verification of requirement against defined
specifications • Verification of design against defined specifications
• Verification of product code against defined standards •
Verification of terms, conditions, payment, etc., against contracts
