EXAMPLE Quality Assurance Practices 1 2 3 4 5 Quality assurance (QA) personnel perform receiving and shipping inspections on all critical hardware whenever the hardware enters or leaves any facility. Critical hardware includes all flight hardware and any GSE that interfaces directly with flight hardware, or that is required to support launch readiness. Final inspection of flight hardware is performed to formally released documents. Projects define mandatory inspections for critical hardware (e. g. , in-process and final) at *(your facility), subcontractors, and suppliers. All personnel involved in handling or testing of flight hardware certified to standards approved by the responsible QA organization. Each project arranges for software quality assurance verification of the software traceability matrix to ensure that
