Design QA Before Development
Design QA catches requirement gaps, UX issues, and inconsistencies before development starts.
Direct answer
Design QA is quality assurance applied to design artifacts — verifying requirements, UX, accessibility, and consistency before engineering begins.
Design QA vs development QA
Development QA tests implemented software. Design QA validates that the design itself is complete, consistent, and aligned with requirements — preventing defects upstream.
