Quality Control Checklist
Phase I: Requirements Gathering for Documentation
The documentation requirements are collected and analyzed based on input and direction from each of the project groups. The requirements checklist is drafted, reviewed, finalized and agreed upon by project participants. The scope of the project is established and agreed upon.

Phase II: Establishing Documentation Project Requirements
The QA team will assist in establishing and setting the standards for the project. The standards will be established for: development methodology, system design, quality assurance methodology, methodology compliance.

Phase III: Test Documentation Planning
Test plans are written which detail the QA involvement for the entire documentation life cycle, develop test conditions based on the business needs and business scenarios, implement a defect-tracking mechanism, establish Quality Assurance methods, practices and standards. The overall QA methodology will assist in creating a controlled product release and greatly reduce the risk of errors being introduced into the product.

Phase IV: Test Report Documentation Delivery
Write test cases that entirely test the scenarios covered in the test conditions, review the test conditions and subsequent test cases with the documentation users, write test cases that will cover all phases of the QA life cycle.

Phase V: User Documentation Testing
Documentation testing by the end-users ensuring it is coherent, valid and it meets the business needs.

Phase VI: Documentation Validation
