> Also, what school teaches QA These days?

Interesting question! INSA Lyon in France, but that was in 2005, you could mock that the Old Continent does a lot of V-Cycle waterfall projects and had missed the Agile turn of 2001.

BUT learning how processes help is, instead, a very important step to judge what exactly we give up with Agile.

The irony is I went on creating software for requirements, and I can testify that all of the hardware industry does QA more diligently than ever!

That's because QA and Statistical Process Control were born out of manufacturing due to the high stakes with processes and tooling not being able to change on a dime like software does. I'm not surprised at all there.

Software Quality Assurance is much more... Spongey.
