abstract = {The Cherenkov Telescope Array is the future ground-based facility for gamma-ray astronomy at very-high energies. The CTA Observatory will comprise more than 100 telescopes and calibration devices that need to be centrally managed and synchronized to perform the required scientific and technical activities. The operation of the array requires a complex Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, named Array Control and Data Acquisition (ACADA), whose quality level is crucial for maximizing the efficiency of the CTA operations. In this contribution we aim to present the Quality Assurance (QA) strategy adopted by the ACADA team to fulfill the quality standards required for the creation and usage of ACADA software. We will describe the QA organization and planned activities, together with the quality models and the related metrics defined to comply with the required quality standards. We will describe the procedures, methods and tools which will be applied in order to guarantee, that for each phase of the project, the required level of quality in the design, implementation, testing, integration, configuration, usage and maintenance of the ACADA product are met.},
