My experience… QA is a broader category which includes document control, calibration systems, corrective action systems, non-conforming product quarantine procedures, etc. Inspect and test is the actual methods and measurements used to determine form, fit, & function (or conformance to specifications which may be slightly different things).

“Inspection and Testing” specifications apply to allowing safe access for the engineer’s staff to conduct inspections and tests.
“Quality Assurance” describes the scope of the inspections and tests of the engineer. The contractor is responsible for quality control test, which are done at set intervals. The engineer conducts quality assurance tests, which are more like spot checks or random checks.
The engineer’s quality assurance inspections and tests do not relieve the contractor from meeting contract requirements or conducting quality control tests.
They could probably be combined under one heading in “Execution.”

Quality Assurance paragraphs are intended to establish the qualifications of the manufacturer for the product. For example, they have to be in business for x years or completed y number of successful projects in order to qualify to bid the project, or follow certain ASME guidelines during fabrication of the product.
Inspection and Testing paragraphs are intended to prove that the installed products are functioning properly. For example, the Contractor may need to be qualified at the factory in order to start up the equipment, or certain procedures must be followed to verify that the product is installed and operating as designed.

Part of your query will depend on the industry that you are working in. However, generally speaking – Quality Assurance covers the entire scope of the organization in how to prevent things from going wrong in the first place. While Inspection and Testing is about what is actually being tested (either after something goes wrong, after manufacture of a product, during the production of a product or before something is made {i.e. incoming supplier parts or materials})
In your particular case, it sounds as if you are working to an industry or national standard (i.e. ISO/TS 16949, TL 9000 or AS 9100) and need to align for an future audit of you department. So one idea is to look at the document you are using as you base and see what you can find in an internet search around that topic. You should be able to find sample manuals that other companies have online for their suppliers/customer that you can use as a model.
Another thought would be to call the American Society for Quality (ASQ) at 800-248-1946 and ask them for the local contact of a Section/Chapter in your area. Contact that person and find out when local meetings are being held. You should be able to network with that group to get some very specific examples that will help you. Also, the ASQ has national groups called Divisions that have industry specific topics that you might find very useful as well as a range of references (books and magazines) around this stuff.
There are also two other magazines that you should be aware of: Quality Digest and Quality Magazine. Both are free and you can check out their websites to see if they have anything relating to the specific standard that you are working to.
Now in general – for the Quality Assurance section in the General category, list what you / your department is doing around preventing things from going wrong. This could include things like Advanced Quality Planning, Standard Operating Procedures for your group, Listing what the normal operating parameters are, etc.
Inspection and Testing should have things like: what equipment is available, how is it calibrated and how are Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility Studies (GR&R) done, what are the standard procedures for using the equipment, what are the standard procedures for doing testing in your organization, who is qualified (and how) of the testing equipment, etc.
So yes, your analysis that these two sections are similar is valid. The answer will depend on the level of engineering that you are doing in your organization and the criteria that you are working with to get more specific information on what you want / need.
At some point, you may need an expert in that particular standard to assist you in fine tuning your needs. The three groups listed can be used to help find consultants or people in the field who might be willing to help. Networking in other engineering professional societies can also be useful (check your local library for a set of books called the Encyclopedia of Associations to find any number of engineering groups).
Once you have your system set up, you may then need to get some professional auditors in to look the system over to give you more ideas. You can again call the ASQ or contact the Chartered Quality Institute (CQI – out of England) to assist in that need.
This may all sound like a lot, but you can get the needed information by focusing on the standard that you are working with.
