<h2>Quality Assurance at W3C</h2>
<p>This page used to be the home page for the Quality Assurance activity at W3C, and has since been broadened in scope and audience to become the W3C Blog.</p>
<p>W3C continues to strive for quality, through testing and a quality process (see <a href="http://www.w3.org/QA/TheMatrix">the QA Matrix</a>), <a href="http://www.w3.org/QA/Tools/">Quality Tools</a> and <a href="http://www.w3.org/QA/Library/">documents</a>. </p>
<p>Archives of the life of the Quality Assurance are still available: visit the home page of the <a href="./IG/"><acronym title="Quality Assurance Interest Group">QAIG</acronym></a>, the former <a href="./IG/"><acronym title="Quality Assurance Working Group">QAWG</acronym></a> or its <a href="Agenda/">calendar</a>.</p>
