Quality assurance refers to a program that attempts to improve and stablilize processes by systematically monitoring and evaluating various aspects of a project to ensure quality standards are being met.   This is in contrast to Quality Control, which emphasizes the testing of products to uncover defects and to report to management who make the decisions to allow or deny the release. 

Quality assurance serves to prevent defects by controlling and improving processes.
