Nov 21, 2012 at 21:40 comment added JustinC Indication of other industries was more of acknowledgement that for some organizations there is a great deal of overlap among what they produce. Groups that produce hardware (and associated control/interface software), or provisioning systems/services, or are highly regulated (health care, finance, energy, defense) will probably encounter a greater stringency for an 'engineered' manufacturing-based outlook to QA, while groups who are public web-dev/e-com oriented (for example) might not see that same push.

Nov 21, 2012 at 21:23 comment added JustinC From my experience, this is probably a more formal view of the actors and their stories. In an industry-wide view of how it is applied, its probably blurred a bit to where there is little distinction. The distinction is probably more industry prevelant when more tangible, physical products are involved; or when adopting engineering-like standards for development like CMM or ISO9000/9001 etc. Depending on scale, and process certification aims, the distinction may be superficial; in practice though, someone with an SQA hat does vastly different things than a product tester or build master.
