Quality Engineering is an ethos that emphasises value-driven behaviours and a quality-first mindset. It isn’t any one thing, it’s all-encompassing. A strategic, holistic approach to quality encompassing the entire lifecycle, embedding a culture of quality, continuous improvement and repeatability that sets organisations up to consistently deliver quality outcomes.
The Quality Engineering Charter was conceived by a Forum of seasoned quality engineering professionals united in their goal to elevate standards to enable organisations to improve technology delivery. The Forum is a collective voice that enables businesses to benefit from pooled expertise, shared best practices, knowledge contribution and experience. Focusing on a shared objective of championing quality engineering for better technology outcomes, we robustly addressed those recurring common challenges, and the Quality Engineering Charter was conceived.
