Quality Control (QC) refers to quality-related activities associated with the creation of product deliverables. Quality control is used to verify that deliverables are of acceptable quality and that they are complete and correct. Examples of quality control activities include inspection, deliverable peer reviews and the testing process.

Retail businesses differ from other business types that most specialize in selling already-produced goods, rather than manufacturing products from raw materials. The retail sector boasts immense diversity in procurement, mail order, vending machines, home party sales and service providers etc. Quality assurance aims to prevent defects or known bugs from hitting the market.
It provides the opportunity to correct these issues before a release or an update goes live. By conducting QA at the beginning of a project, businesses can mitigate identified risks before they negatively impact the business or a customer experience.

Quality control (QC) is similar to, but not identical with, quality assurance (QA). Quality Assurance (QA) refers to the process used to create the deliverables, and can be performed by a manager, client, or a third-party reviewer. Examples of quality assurance include process checklists, project audits and methodology and standards development. Quality Assurance is process-oriented and focuses on defect prevention, while Quality Control is product-oriented and focuses on defect identification.
