Overview
QA/QC testing is the work of making sure software does what it’s supposed to do — before it reaches users, not after. QA (quality assurance) is the process side: how a team plans, builds, and reviews work to prevent defects in the first place. QC (quality control) is the checking side: running functional, regression, performance, and security tests against the actual product to confirm it meets requirements.
Why it matters
A bug caught during a sprint costs a few hours. The same bug caught by a user in production costs a support ticket, a bad review, and sometimes a churned customer who never bothers to report what went wrong — they just leave. Testing that only happens right before a release tends to catch the obvious problems and miss the ones that matter.
How Dotcode applies it
We build QA/QC into the delivery process itself — test cases written alongside features, regression passes before every release, not a rushed check at the end.
