QC focuses on the execution phase of testing and involves concrete activities like unit testing, integration testing, [[System|system]] testing, and bug fixing. Quality control identifies quality issues in delivered software products and reports them for remediation. QC is essential for maintaining system quality attributes such as correctness, reliability, and performance. ## Key points - Operational process of testing, inspecting, and validating software - Detects and corrects defects; ensures specification conformance - Includes unit, integration, system testing and bug fixes - Maintains quality attributes like correctness, reliability, performance ## Relation to System Quality Attributes This article connects to system quality attributes as software quality control directly influences how systems are designed, evaluated, and operated. It contributes to understanding the broader [[Ecosystem|ecosystem]] of quality concerns, from high-level requirements and [[Architecture|architecture]] patterns down to specific measurable attributes and [[Engineering|engineering]] practices. ## Sources - [Software quality control — Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_quality_control) Back to System Quality Attributes ---  ## Semiotic profile > *The semiotic universals this article invokes, machine-derived from the crossref — **unverified** (born so).
