data-accuracy

Vocabulary Word

Definition

'Data-accuracy' is a measure of how close the data you have is to the actual or true values. It's like when you take a photo of a landscape. If your photo captures everything exactly as you see it, it has high data accuracy. But if some parts are fuzzy or incorrect, then the data accuracy of the photo is low.

Examples in Different Contexts

In quality assurance, 'data accuracy' ensures that product specifications and testing results accurately reflect the actual characteristics of the products. A quality assurance manager might state, 'Data accuracy in our testing processes is essential for meeting compliance standards and customer expectations.'
