Abstract

A method and system for automating quality assurance for one or more documents, including a repository configured for electronically storing a plurality of forms; a computing subsystem for: accessing at least one of the plurality of forms, and selectively encoding the at least one of the plurality of forms with at least one electronic mark to obtain at least one encoded document with the at least one electronic mark; a document processing subsystem for: both scanning a print corresponding with the at least one encoded document and detecting the at least one electronic mark, and for: (a) generating a first bitmap from the at least one encoded document, (b) using the at least one electronic mark to generate a second bitmap from a form related document retrieved from the form repository, and (c) comparing the first and second bitmaps to determine if the first and second bitmaps substantially match.
