Quality Control Measurements

Recorded outputs from performing Control Quality that show how products or processes actually performed against defined quality metrics.

Key Points

  • They are the output of the Control Quality process and capture actual inspection and test results.
  • Values may be numeric (e.g., defect counts, dimensions) or categorical (e.g., pass/fail) and are traceable to specific quality metrics.
  • They feed Manage Quality and analysis tools (e.g., trend charts) to drive process improvements and corrective actions.
  • They are stored as project records to support decisions, change requests, and lessons learned.

Example

On a software project, the team runs system tests and logs 38 defects with severity levels, pass/fail rates for 250 test cases, and response time measurements versus targets. These logged figures are the quality control measurements used to assess compliance and to plan fixes.
