A reminder for software people that testing and QA often have little to do with the quality of your product.

"quality" comes from development

"quality assurance" comes from testing, where you're checking to make sure the product is quality, to make sure development actually produced quality code.

quality does not come solely from development

quality comes from 1000s of little things you and your team do, when creating software.

some times that involves development. testing plays a role (albeit a very small one)

but quality, quality assurance, whatever you want to call it , is much much more than just code and test
