Statement I: "Quality control involves the series of inspections, reviews and tests used throughout the software process, to ensure each work product meets the requirements placed upon it."
Statement II: "Quality assurance consists of auditing and reporting functions of management."
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer:

Explanation

Both statements are standard textbook definitions. Quality control is the set of inspections, reviews and tests carried out throughout the software process so that every work product is checked against the requirements placed on it, and it includes a feedback loop that lets the process be tuned when a product fails the check. Quality assurance operates one level above this: it consists of the auditing and reporting functions of management, whose purpose is to give managers the data they need to judge product quality and the effectiveness of the process. So quality control acts on the product while quality assurance acts on the process and reports upward. Since neither statement is contradicted, both Statement I and Statement II are true.
