The activities that check whether what’s being built meets expectations, such as testing and security checks. It is the second of three areas of a quality management system, between quality planning and continuous improvement.

So what? It’s within a team’s control and a natural place to look for gaps. How you go about control matters as much as what you do.

Example: Code generation is rising sharply with AI, so a team checks whether engineers actually understand the code they submit. If not, the team adds a better review process, education or guardrails.
