Orphan date February 2009 The qualityassurance of qualifications , in the education system in England , Northern Ireland and Wales , aims to confirm the validity and standard of educational qualifications held by individuals. How qualityassurance works The qualityassurance process works by measuring learners achievement in the assessment component of a qualification against a set of clearly defined quality standards. This is opposed to measuring the learning undertaken throughout the course leading to the qualification. For general academic qualifications, qualityassurance is done largely by measuring learners achievement in exams, although other means of Educational assessment Assessment may be measured, such as coursework. For vocational qualifications, qualityassurance is done mainly by measuring achievement in coursework, or by direct observation of the learner. Responsibility for qualityassurance The qualityassurance of qualifications is the responsibility of the various United Kingdom Awarding Bodies that offer qualifications to learners, which in turn are regulated by the Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulator in England, the bMZXmX ZmZX Council for the Curriculum, Examinations & Assessment in Northern Ireland and the Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills in Wales.

Bell System Technical Journal 8 613 31. ref as a method of quality control in industrial production. Compared to similar sampling techniques like stratified sampling stratified and cluster sampling , LQAS provides less information but often requires substantially smaller sample sizes. Summary LQAS, sometimes called acceptance sampling ref name LemeshowTaber1991 Lemeshow, S. & Taber, S. 1991 . Lot qualityassurance sampling single and double sampling plans . World Health Statistics Quarterly , 44 3 , 115 32. http www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov pubmed 1949879 PMID 1949879. ref , involves taking a small random sample from each set of items in the population, and testing each sampled item to determine whether it meets a predetermined standard of quality. LQAS is functionally identical to stratified sampling where each lot is a single stratum , but requires smaller samples because it does not attempt to construct a precise estimate of population parameters. Instead, after sampling, a researcher using LQAS performs a Statistical inference hypothesis test to determine whether the number of elements of interest in each lot e.g. defective units in manufacturing, or persons with a particular medical condition in epidemiology is likely to be greater than a predetermined threshold.

Unreferenced date December 2009 A dataquality firewall is the use of software to protect a computer system from the entry of erroneous, duplicated or poor qualitydata. Gartner estimates that poor qualitydata causes failure in up to 50 of customer relationship management systems. Citation needed date July 2008 Older technology required the tight integration of dataquality software, whereas this can now be accomplished by loosely coupling technology in a service oriented architecture . Features and functionality A dataquality firewall guarantees database accuracy and consistency. This application ensures that only valid and high qualitydata enter the system, which means that it obliquely protects the database from damage this is extremely important since database integrity and security are absolutely essential. A dataquality firewall provides real time feedback information about the quality of the data submitted to the system. The main goal of a dataquality process consists in capturing erroneous and invalid data, processing them and eliminating duplicates and, lastly, exporting valid data to the user without failing to store a back up copy into the database. A dataquality firewall acts similarly to a network security firewall. It enables packets to pass through specified ports by filtering out data that present quality issues and allowing the remaining, valid data to be stored in the database. In other words, the firewall sits between the data source and the database and works throughout the extraction, processing and loading of data. It is necessary that data streams be subject to accurate validity checks before they can be considered as being correct or trustworthy. Such checks are of a temporal, formal, logic and forecasting kind. Category Dataquality it DataQuality Firewall ... more details
