It combines [[Quality_assurance|quality assurance]] (process-focused) and quality control (product-focused) activities with quality planning and continuous improvement initiatives. Quality management establishes standards, metrics, and processes that systematically ensure system quality attributes are achieved. It encompasses governance, metrics, risk management, and continuous improvement to deliver systems that meet or exceed quality expectations. ## Key points - Comprehensive approach coordinating all quality activities - Combines process-focused QA with product-focused QC - Establishes standards, metrics, and continuous improvement - Ensures systems meet or exceed quality expectations ## Relation to System Quality Attributes This article connects to system quality attributes as software quality management 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 management — Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_quality_management) Back to System Quality Attributes ---  ## Semiotic profile > *The semiotic universals this article invokes, machine-derived from the crossref — **unverified** (born so).
