As stated in the IEEE Standard 12207, quality is defined as follows: "The quality assurance process is a process for providing adequate assurance that the software products and processes in the product life cycle conform to their specific requirements and adhere to their established plans."

A Slashdot discussion on a quality assurance article clearly points out that quality assurance is not a replacement for testing. Quality assurance is just what it sounds like: it gives you that your product will be of high quality. A quality product is , as it is difficult or nearly impossible to prove that a highly detailed software product is 100% error free.
