A QA Engineer executes planned and systematic activities implemented in a quality system so that quality requirements for a product or service will be fulfilled. Those activities include:
- develop all the planning processes and procedures in order to try to make sure that the products manufactured or the service delivered by the organization will be of good quality.
- define the standards/methodology to be followed in order to meet the customer requirements. "Fit for purpose".
- monitor the development process throughout its entire cycle (e.g., performing audits and reviews) comparing the results with the processes and standards defined in the organization, making sure you are doing the right things, the right way, the first time (e.g.: Are requirements being defined at the proper level of detail?). Their activities have a Failure Prevention focus.
