About

The QA Focus Toolkit works as part of the QA Focus methodology which is based on documented policies on standards and best practices, systematic checking and audit trails.

A full explanation of the QA Focus methodology is available in the Methodology Briefing paper.

Creative Commons Toolkit

This toolkit is designed to stimulate open discussion between project staff. It is not an auditing tool in itself.

To use the toolkit you need to answer the questions in the online form below and submit the page. A page will then appear with a list of comments on your answers. QA Focus does not keep a record of the answers submitted.

Note that when filling in the form:

• Check boxes () let you select as many of the options as you would like (i.e. many buttons can be selected).
